When revising your work, do you ever wonder if you are actually improving the poem, or simply moving things around to create something new? How do you know when to trust the advice that your community of readers offer? In this six-week workshop, we will explore a practical and replicable strategy for strengthening your poems – one rooted in identifying and understanding the “why” of the process, not just the “how”. Through close readings of contemporary texts, open discussions, and generative prompts, we will cover how to find the “wisdom” of your poem (and what that means), as well as the elements that are in-service to that “wisdom”—including well-crafted images, compression and diction, framing the lens, and shaping the poem on the page.
This workshop is limited to 20 students. Learn more and register here.
