As I've said in previous posts, I'm primarily a fiction writer. I wrote short stories, flash fictions, unfinished novels, etc. I help run a writing club, too, and many of our members are poets. Because of my heavier background in fiction, I often found myself lacking in terms of on-the-spot critiques for the poetry that finds its way into our meetings.
This class has fostered my growth as a poet, and by extension my strength in critiquing other poetry. I definitely feel I can more adequately respond to the poetry I come across, as well as scrutinize on a deeper level. For this, I am grateful.
