Fetzer Writer's Retreat: Teaching Poetry

In April 2010, the Fetzer Institute hosted a group of writers at our private retreat center. Poets, novelists, teachers, musicians, and artists; this engaging group came together to share their views on love, forgiveness, compassion, and the creative spirit.

Alison Luterman and Jack Ridl describe the different techniques they use to teach poetry and how important this creative education can be to the youth.
