Upcoming Workshops

The fourth year of Writing Intensives will circle back to poetry, with a focus on conceptualizing and ordering poems into a poetry chapbook.

 

Registration for this limited seating workshop will open November 1 and close when all seats are filled. The workshop begins with an all-remote/recorded session in December, continues in-person only from January to June, and ends with an all-remote/recorded session in late June.

 

Registration opens November 1 and closes when all seats are filled. The course fee is $200, due on the first class January 11. Registration includes a copy of Cloud Reports by Kathleen McGookey.

Each participant will submit a poetry chapbook manuscript of 16-24 pages. Visiting poets will lead a discussion on the order of the poems and cohesion of the whole, and give us advice for strengthening our manuscripts.
