Advanced Meter Magic Class
Ready to deepen your relationship with rhythm and verse?
The Meter Magic Class is a monthly deep-dive into the rhythms of poetry and their power to shape language, thought, and even personal growth. Each session focuses on a different poetic meter—its sound, structure, and emotional resonance.
Led by acclaimed poet Annie Finch, these classes combine technical learning with creative exploration. You’ll read powerful poems and spells, learn to identify and scan meter, and practice writing in the month’s featured rhythm. There's also space to ask questions and receive personalized feedback from Annie on your own metrical writing, when you’re ready.
Whether you’re a seasoned poet or simply intrigued by the magic of rhythm, this class offers tools to:
- Strengthen your poetic craft
- Appreciate metrical poetry more deeply
- Use poetic rhythm as a tool for personal insight and empowerment
Each month, participants gain access to readings, links, and additional materials in a private online space. All are welcome.
