Class Description
This workshop is for advanced poets who want to develop new content and deepen their craft. We’ll explore the building blocks of poetry: words, lines, stanzas, rhythm and rhyme, as they manifest in our own work and that of accomplished mentor poets. We’ll write and revise ten poems and discuss making work public via readings, online and print submissions, and chapbooks. Poets whose works we explore may include Franny Choi, francine j. harris, Kevin Young, Li-Young Lee, Ocean Vuong, Ellen Bryant Voight, Chen Chen, Robert Hayden and Gwendolyn Brooks.
This class is by submission only and previous workshop experience is essential. Space is limited to nine poets.
Important dates:
The application deadline for this class is Friday, August 23rd, 11:59PM EST.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
