Online Seminar Series: Monday Night Poetry Group

Online Seminar SeriesMonday Night Poetry GroupNext Session - Monday, August 18, 2025​Join us as we explore, through close reading, what makes a poem. Each online session will focus on a single poem or two shorter ones. We'll examine how language becomes art, taking note of everything from forms and sound patterns to imagery and word order, discovering how poets transform ordinary language into “machines made out of words” that resonate on emotional, sensory and imaginative levels.

No preparation is required— we’ll read aloud and discover the poems together. Each of the seminars is self-contained, so join for any or all that interest you. Whether you're new to poetry or a seasoned reader, these gatherings will deepen your ability to see how poems work their particular magic, revealing the craft behind moments of beauty, surprise and insight.​Visit the Monday Night Poetry Group page for more information and to access upcoming poems. ​August 18 Reading: The Voice by Thomas Hardy ​ ​Schedule:5:00-6:00PM PDTTutor: Carol Seferi​Location: Online.
