4 consecutive Saturdays per part, scheduled and completed on your own time this fall

In this workshop, we will investigate elements of craft as a means to generate and revise our own work. Looking to source poems for inspiration and instruction, we will aim to deepen our poetry practice, expand our approach to our own work, and further develop voice and range. Topics for Part 1 are: poetic openings, pattern and repetition, line and syntax, and poetic closure; topics for part 2 are metaphor & simile, point of view & persona, and a variety of poetic structures.

Each week, you will receive extensive craft notes with poems, links for independent study, and writing prompts, and you will submit one poem-in-progress each week for my line edits and commentary.

Recommended for poets who want to deepen and develop their technique, study specific craft elements, and follow a more structured practice.
