According to Billy Collins, 'A poem is an emotion'. During this one hour webinar we'll look at the role emotion plays in poetry, and the role poetry plays for us in understanding our emotions. Participants will come away with a greater understanding of the role of emotion in poetry, and tips on how best to convey it through our choice and use of language, tone and format.
