Poetry is inside of all of us. You just need to find a way to discover and transform it into a message that has the power for change.

Tasmin Hansmann, freelance writer and author, knows how to write poetry that transforms your life. She has written and published the poetry collection The Anatomy of Waves, which deals with trauma, healing and finding belonging. Her new book, Welcome Home Dear Soul, is a poetic encounter with death, shaping grief and wonder into an atmospheric story.

This 30 minute class will show you ways on how to write poetry that has an impact. Not only on the world around you and potential readers, but most of all yourself.

Tasmin introduces you to techniques, formats and practices that help you discover your inner voice and how to get it onto paper and, eventually, out into the world. This class is for beginners as well as advanced students. Lessons include:

Finding a specific purpose for writing poetry
Exploration of different formats of poetry and writing
Connecting your work to yourself and the bigger picture
Navigate the emotions of writing as well as failure
Publishing your work

Whether you’ve always dreamed of becoming a poet and simply didn’t know where to start or you are already a writer or poet wanting to switch things up, Tasmin’s honest and authentic class will help you unlock your creativity and courage and to step into the footsteps of Amanda Gorman and Nikita Gill.
