Join the Spiral
These 90-minute, monthly classes will explore the six poetic meters in a six-month sequence. You may register for one class or for the full sequence. Registration is limited to 25 participants per class.
Our most ancient cultures revered poetic meters for their powers of inspiration, remembrance, pleasure, healing, and enchantment. Under the guidance of poetry witch Annie Finch, Meter Magic Spiral Journey will immerse you in the secrets and complexities of the six basic English meters. We will read aloud, discuss and practice scansion, as we explore each meter.
Whether your aim is poetic skill, a deeper appreciation of language, or personal growth, this immersive class offers a powerful structure and an unparalleled tool, new yet familiar, for reconnecting with your own inner rhythms.
