The poet Mary Oliver says, "Poetry is a river; many voices travel in it." This is a class about adding your voice to the river. Many of us have experimented with poetry or have wanted to try writing but have never given ourselves that space. This class will equip students with knowledge of basic poetic devices and a space to practice and explore those techniques.

Robin Gow (it/fae/he & él y elle) is a Lambda award-winning poet and community educator. It grew up in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, and lives with his partner Rain and their menagerie of animals on unceded Lenape land also called Allentown Pennsylvania. Fae is the author of poetry collections and young-adult and middle-grade novels including Lanternfly August, Dear Mothman, and A Million Quiet Revolutions, earning starred reviews from Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus, School Library Journal, and more.
