Poetry of Place
4–week course
Young and enthusiastic? Seasoned and gritty? No matter. If poetry is your wheelhouse, you're welcome here. In this course we'll focus on generative poetry exercises meant to capture a sense of place — as rich in its economy of words as any long narrative would be in paragraphs or pages.
Saturdays, 2 pm – 4 pm (EST)
6/7, 6/14, 6/21, 6/28
1:1 Coaching

Diamonds from Coal:
Pressure of Form in Poetry
4–week course
We won’t be delving into specific forms, but we will cover how applying pressure of form on your work — i.e. line breaks, enjambment, stanzaic structure, punctuation (or lack thereof), and more — can deepen meaning, soften edges, pack a punch, and lead readers where you want.
Saturdays, 2 pm – 4 pm (EST)
7/5, 7/12, 7/19, 7/26
Warts and All:
Creative Nonfiction Workshop
