Announcing my spring creative writing workshops!

Announcing my SPRING 2025 poetry and creative nonfiction private online writing workshops!

On Wednesdays, I’ll teach “In the Landscape of Contemporary Poetry” 6:00-8:00 p.m. ET, 6 weeks, starting April 16. We’ll read recently published poetry from literary journals and books, generate new poems with the help of prompts that I create, and spend the bulk of each class in a fun, inspiring poetry workshop. In this course participants will write and receive workshop comments on five original poems. Writers at all levels are welcome. I teach In the Landscape of Contemporary Poetry often, and every time the readings are all new, so you can take it again and again!

On Thursdays, I’m offering my also popular combination generative and workshop class “Introduction to the Lyric Essay” 6:00-8:00 p.m. ET, 6 weeks, starting April 17. This workshop will usher you into the wild and liberating world of the lyric essay, a popular form of the contemporary experimental creative nonfiction essay. This class is made for both writers who are new to lyric essays and writers wishing to deepen their relationship with lyric essays. If you are a nonfiction writer wanting to engage with this popular form, this is the class for you! If you are a poet wanting to branch out into a new genre, this is the class for you! If you have never written creative nonfiction before, this is the class for you! Writers at all levels are welcome.

Registration is now open, and it closes on Sunday April 13.

I’m Teaching a Poetry Workshop This Fall at The Downtown Writer’s Center in Syracuse NY

Posted on by

I’m thrilled to be teaching a poetry writing workshop called “The Voices of the Poet” this fall at The Downtown Writer’s Center in sunny Syracuse, NY. If you’re in the area come on down!

The Voices of the Poet with Christopher Citro. Wednesdays, 6:00-8:00. 8 weeks, starting October 12. “Each time my heart is broken it makes me feel more adventurous,” wrote Frank O’Hara. In this workshop, we’ll use the influential New York School poets as a jumping off point for a focus on effective use of voice in our writing. We’ll use prompts drawn from our readings to help us continue the adventure of creating new poems.

Registration is inexpensive and open to the public. To learn more about The Downtown Writer’s Center, download the fall class schedule, and register for this workshop, visit the Center’s website HERE. Feel free to share with anyone who might be interested!
