Loved it! great prompts, collaborations and very clear information. Also, I really appreciate the links to other information, websites and poems

I originally took this course at Coppin State University in 2001. I missed a week and decided to withdraw. Glad I decided to retake this course.

The instructor is engaging and obviously loves poetry. This was such a fun class, I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about poetry.

I loved the instructor. Very clear and relayed considerable amount of information efficiently and understandably. I felt enlivened. Thank you!

A great introduction to get you into reading and writing poetry. It also helps find your way of entertainment in poetry with very good prompts

The instructor makes the course flow easily and in a fun and engaging way. I discovered abilities I did not dream I had. Very nice experience.

Wonderful course! Absolutely enjoyed it, and I learned so much about poetry, things I knew but did not know how to use it. Thank you so much!

This review is about the course I'm taking. Poetry brings such great things to me. And best of all, poetry brings out the best in me as well.

Everything I could have wanted and more, deep gratitude to Douglas Kearney and Coursera. I felt very welcome and nurtured. 5 stars at least

Wonerful course. Taught me how to view and write poetry as an expression as well as an artform - somthing I had been missing in my practice.

The course is superb but the explosive personality of the tutor may be charming to some, but it was a bit too much and way cacophonic for me

This was a great refresher course. I knew a lot of the information, but the challenges were a great opportunity to try new forms of poetry.

Very inspiring and also very education. Instructor is engaging and selection of sample poetry is diverse. I learned a lot from this course.

Great workshop for anyone that is trying to get into the basic understanding of Poetry. Definitely improved my skills as a poet and writer.

This course was very informational and concise. I dedicated a reasonable amount of time each week and I learned a plethora of information.

Aprendí muchísimo más el enfoque poético que solo escribir por escribir. Recomendado! Excelente que este tipo de cursos estén en Coursera.

A wonderful opportunity to learn about poetry and to participate in peer reviews of poetry. One of my favorite Coursera courses/workshops!

Doug is so entertaining. I would probably take any course if he taught it but he made this poetry workshop live for me. I'm better for it.

Awesome course that i could do in my own time, learned so much about poetry and already feel like i am a better writer for it, thank you!

I took this course with my two kids. We learned a lot about Poetry.

The instructor is fun and upbeat. He made learning very interesting.

Loved it! Great teaching, well paced, can't get enough of the transcripts with the videos. Very fun and really pushed me in my craft.

I have learned a lot from this course. Thank you . I wish we could have an advanced level of the workshop. I would definitely take it!

This course was excellent! It really helped me on my journey in poetry appreciation and writing. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent, thought-provoking class. Thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a great deal about poetry. I definitely recommend this course.

Inspiring and very handy tools are proposed to help us write and review our poetry. Loved the videos, our lecturer and the exercises.
