FREE Root Words: Etymology and Poetry

Introductory | This class will look at etymology and language as a source of creative fascination. Students will create their own etymologies, consider the nature and purpose of word connotation in poetry, and explore the narratives and lyrical possibilities within words. Students can expect to leave class with a host of new generative writing exercises and lenses for creation of new work.
