We will examine the ways we read poems aloud to hear the rhythm and emotion.  Specific topics include: Line, Sound, Rhythm, Meter, Imagery, and Metaphor, always with attention to hearing the poem and speaking it aloud, bringing it off the page and into the body by voice and gesture.  We will read a variety of poems examining issues that we find essential to each.

GROUP LEADER:  Eugene McCarthy has taught poetry since 1965 at Holy Cross with special attention to speaking poetry aloud.  He was one of a group giving dramatic readings of Milton’s Paradise Lost aloud and has taught WISE classes for a number of years.
