Class Description
This workshop is for advanced poets who are ready to engage in more rigorous examination and revision of their own poetry. Each member of the group will develop and polish ten poems for an ongoing manuscript or for magazine publication. We will also discuss the journal submission process and host a discussion with an accomplished poet on how to conceive and craft a manuscript. Poets studied may include:
- Christopher Nealon

- Bernadette Mayer
- Claudia Rankine
- Nathaniel Mackey
- Harryette Mullen
- WC Williams

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.
