A great thing in life that is free!

I'm taking an excellent online poetry class--and it's free! I've really appreciated the online writing classes I've taken in the past, and considered them to be well worth the money spent. But my budget doesn't accommodate such things right now, and I've been missing them. So I'm delighted to have found a free Coursera class taught by rock star poet and teacher Douglas Kearney. Here is one of his beautiful poems, Alameda Street, which vividly details a group of young men who are "…just/trying to leave/a mark." Aren't we all? I'm so grateful that this class is helping me learn to leave a better mark.

  1. How great! I'm going to look for that class. I need some poetry mojo (pojo?).
