In Words & Sound, we will examine how poets and songwriters can look at one concept from many different angles. We will examine concepts such as identity, love, and death. We will be reading poetry, watching slam poets, and listening to some fine music, all while creating our own. Students will be expected to write both creatively and academically. No singing required, only open minds and full pens.
Rihane Zoubairi
Rihane Zoubairi began writing in a quiet room of her childhood home in Rabat, where poetry found her early and stayed. Drawn to writers like Baudelaire and Rimbaud before fully understanding them, she learned to trust language for its music and emotional truth, a relationship that later shaped her first poetry collection, A Rambling Dandelion. A Cambridge-certified instructor, she is deeply interested in creativity, voice, and the inner workings of her students’ minds. She loves writing by instinct and teaching with curiosity, welcoming experimentation, reflection, and a little productive chaos in the classroom. Rooted in Rabat, she finds inspiration in art, music, games, nature, and the communities of writers she helps bring together.
