Level I Poetry Workshop
Just the thing if you have never enrolled in a poetry workshop before—or if you are a more seasoned poet who simply craves a community of friendly and thoughtful writers for inspiration, feedback and support. Our weekly meetings will touch on rhythm & rhyme, tone, imagery, figures of speech, form, structure, mood and more. We will also explore:
- How to discover your individual vision & style
- Strategies for nurturing your own writing process and carving out the “life space” required for writing good verse
- Innovative exercises to spark new work
- Support to conquer your inner critic
- Readings to challenge our ideas of what poetry is and who we are as poets
Class limited to 12 poets.
Level II Advanced Poetry Workshop
The perfect weekly workshop if you’re looking for a trusted circle of fellow poets for support, critique, and inspiration—as well as the discipline and structure that accompanies a regular deadline. Each session features:
- Guided feedback on your work
- Exercises to inspire new verse or aid in the revision of early drafts
- Readings to support your writing process and open you to new ideas with regard to subject matter, style, form and more
- Sure-fire exercises to break writer’s block
Class limited to 10 poets.
