Poetics Presents

Featuring the Students of Poetry Class 104:
"Freeing the Poet Within you"

Poetics Presents is proud to be able introduce the third showcase of poetry from the P104 class.

Back in September, P104 students met for the first time. Over the next twelve weeks they got to know each other through their poetry and their critiques. Each week students met a new poetical challenge and wrote poems about themselves, nature, anger, love, dreams and family. They learned to search within themselves and thus were able to free the poet within them.

Add to these students two hardworking and talented poets, Karli Shanklin and Carol Malley who facilitated the course. Karli and Carol wrote their assignments and also posted them for students to critique. They encouraged their students and coaxed them through discouragement and writers' block. Students have repeatedly said that one of the main reasons for the success of the course was the feedback that Carol and Karli gave their students.

Carol and Karli have helped play a large role in helping poetry come alive at the Village. Although P104 has finished, the students can be found in Word Weavers, Poetry 901 and in the T. S. Eliot Room.

Poetry 104 will be offered again in 2001.
