How to Read A Poem

This one-day crash course in reading poetry hopes to overcome the resistance that many readers have to the delights of poetry. It hopes to make poetry approachable, accessible and, most of all, enjoyable – the best words in the best order. The rhythms and cadences of poetry should be as natural to us as singing or speech. We will touch briefly on metre, structure, language and poetic technique, but mostly we will read lots of poetry. No previous experience required but a willingness to read aloud is an asset.
