Twinings,' my first book, was published in 2023, and I've given many talks on it. Now I want to challenge myself and you to create a poem. I have found that in writing poetry, one goes even deeper into answering life's questions. And isn't that what poetry is all about? The course will include techniques, styles, and examples. Using prompts, we will write poems. Everyone will leave with at least one poem they've created.
