Poetry Writing at Berkeley City College starts August 22! Sign up now! It's a very inclusive and diverse multilevel class--with a different reading list and emphasis for each level. It's an excellent way to jump start your writing or prepare for transferring to a BA or MFA program. We've launched many, many writers. This semester we'll be focusing on poetry as a way to examine and re-figure gender. English 91, 92, 93, 94. Sign up as soon as you can. It's just $138 for 17 weeks. The instructor's a bit wacky, but that only makes the poetry better. Class begins August 20 but it’s better to sign up in advance. If you decide to drop early, you will be refunded. We meet Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:20pm on Zoom and workshop online during the week. Bypass the English 1A pre-rec by filling out a Pre-rec Waiver form.
