You probably already know that cooking the majority of your meals at home, rather than relying on takeout and restaurants, offers a number of health advantages, including keeping your calorie intake in check and saving you money. 

Not only can cooking help relieve anxiety, but it’s also accessible to just about everybody, actually saves you money (unlike most hobbies!), and produces a finished product that can be shared or just enjoyed on your own.

In this course we shall be exploring some of the greatest poetry of all time, which we hope will be a mind-expanding and therapeutic exercise. 

No previous knowledge is assumed: people who have never read a poem in their life are equally as welcome as more experienced readers.

After studying three major poets, we shall look at poetry specifically about mental health, concluding with the chance to write your own poem.
