Consider it the caviar(鱼子酱)of literature: tiny eggs with wonderful taste. Poetry has inspired
the human soul for thousands of years and there are those who still treasure its magnificence. If you
hear mermaids(美人鱼) singing or feel the wind or see the sun rising in ribbons then you are one of
these happy few. Excellence in poetry is mysterious, but a quest(探索) worth pursuing. In our
courses, you will learn to control sound, structure, line, word, theme etc. into well-crafted poems
and you will improve your precision by experimenting with various time-honored forms. You will also
learn how and where to market your work.
