4 Sessions Did you know that vowels have pitch, like musical notes? Or that consonants have texture? Or that the rhythm of a sentence impacts a reader's emotions? This class for writers of all genres and levels offers a crash course in how to control the rhyme, rhythm, and meter of your writing for maximum sonic impact. No submissions will be required, but each session will offer space for generative in-class writing. Take this course if you want your writing to sing!
