poets

Prolific Poet Sita Gaia is presenting a poetry course for poets who don’t even know it and poets who are working on it and poets who know it and want to explore more of it.

Can we really poem enough?

YES, I am partial. Sita is one of my favorite poets. Well, true confession…My press published her chap book Knocking on The Body’s Door:

The cost is $80 for the total class, but Sita will work with you on this fee. It starts September 7 and continues three more Wednesdays.
