How to Write Poetry Vol. 2: How to Write Like Robert Frost - Udemy

When you're first starting to write poetry it can be hard to know where to begin or if what you're writing is any good.

Oftentimes new poetry students or even advanced poets and writers will struggle with feelings of uncertainty about their writing. This is why whenever you start learning something new or trying to improve your craft, it can be incredibly useful to have someone experienced and accomplished who you can look to for guidance and support.

Who better to model your writing and poetry skills after than the four time Pulitzer Prize winning author and poet Robert Frost?

After leaving Harvard University, Frost began a Henry Thoreau mode of living where he tried his hands at many different things as he tried to decide what he wanted to do with his life. It was during this time that Frost began to rekindle his passion for writing and taking on numerous different writing projects, including becoming the editor of the local newspaper.

Funny how many of us think the best writers did nothing but write their entire lives!

Robert Frost shows us that no matter where you are in your life or what you've been through, poetry and writing will always be there for you as a place for you to channel your enthusiasm, creativity and free spirit.

In this course you will get to look at:

• Frost's most renowned and famous poetry pieces
• In-depth analysis of Frost's writing style
• How to model your writing after Robert Frost

In this course I took a series of Frost's most famous poems and beloved works and went through them until I could find patterns that kept coming up over and over again.

While we often think that poets and great writers are superhuman beings who are impossible to understand and model, the more you study an individual writer, the more you see the same patterns reveal themselves.

This is why no matter your experience level, the best place to start in honing your craft is to study the greats and understand the patterns they use to write so effectively!
