Class Description
Got poems that need some TLC? This online class is meant for poets who have written a few drafts of poems and want a supportive environment and concrete set of tools to polish them. In this class, we will focus on sharpening your editing and revision skills. We will explore various poetic forms, revision techniques, and creative exercises that can offer a new set of eyes for your poetry. Participants will have an opportunity to workshop poems for feedback as well as receive individualized feedback from the instructor.
