A special harmony-themed poetry colloquium will be held to share ideas about endanger species of poetry: ode, ballad, sonnet, and epic poems.  This is an opportunity to produce new living forms of these types of poetry, contribute your ideas about poetry, critique others, and receive constructive feed-back.
