    Description

    Responding to good poetry brings about deep feelings of well-being and enjoyment.  In this course, mostly informal discussion, we will consider how poetry works, using images, forms, and sound qualities.  Mostly, though, we will be attentive to personal and cultural connections, to see how poetry can inspire our lives and help create well-being.  If you weren’t much of a poetry reader before this class, don’t worry—you will soon become one.

     

    The text for the class is Joy: 100 Poems, edited by Christian Wiman.  Available on order at our local bookstores: McLean and Eakin, and Between the Covers, as well as online.

    Cancellation & Class Policies

    Cancellation Policy for Petoskey Classes (In-Person)

    Student Withdrawal
    Requests for cancellation by the student at least seven (7) days prior to the first day of class will be honored (minus a $20 processing fee).  NO REFUNDS will be given for a student cancellation made less than seven (7) days in advance of the first day of the class.

    Class Cancellations (Weather)
    When Public Schools of Petoskey are closed due to inclement weather, CTAC-Petoskey classes are canceled. We will do our best to provide a make-up opportunity for the missed class. Refunds will not be given if the student is unable to attend the rescheduled session of class. Workshops and one-time classes will be handled on a per-class basis. School of Ballet students are asked to make up the missed class in an alternate session approved by their instructor.

    Student Absence
    We are unable to offer refunds or make-up sessions for classes missed due to student absence.

    Minimum Enrollment
    Crooked Tree Arts Center reserves the right to cancel any class that does not meet its minimum student enrollment prior to the first class session. If a class is cancelled by CTAC for lack of enrollment, CTAC will offer a full refund to the student in the manner in which tuition was paid. (Cash payments will be refunded by check.)
