Announcing my late fall private poetry workshop!

Posted on by

In the Landscape of Contemporary Poetry. Wednesdays, 6:00-8:00 p.m. ET. 6 weeks, starting December 3 (skipping December 24 and 31). 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!

Participants will receive:

  • 6 two-hour live Zoom classes
  • weekly pdf packets of sample poems from recent literary journals and books, focusing on craft elements and themes
  • original writing prompts written by me inspired by each week’s sample poems
  • workshop comments from the class and me on your five original poems

This is a live online writing workshop. Registered participants will receive a Zoom link prior to the beginning of classes. Registration will close when full (12 students). The class requires a minimum of 6 registered participants. Register early, as spots fill quickly.

Registration fee: $275
