POETRY CLASS: At the Troy Public Library, 100 Second Street, 11am. Join the library and local poet & author Susan Comninos for a poetry reading & writing class at the Main branch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This class will explore the creation of a speaker who’s virtuous, un-self-blaming, special — and also, not quite real. Beginning poets, especially, like to create this kind of “I” for their poems: a fantasy self that, given its outsized power or goodness, reads as one-dimensional. So what happens to the tone of a poem when we deliberately play up the flawlessness of the “I,” to the point of absurdity? The answer can be comedy, insanity, or self-irony: all of which can serve a poem in interesting ways, all of which will be explored in this class. Registration is required. Call (518) 274-7071 or visit our website at www.thetroylibrary.org to learn more.
