I am now offering online poetry workshops for individual poets who wish to explore ways to develop their poetic skills.. Each weekly workshop will focus on providing detailed feedback on individual poems as well as on providing advice on publishing, breaking through writer’s block and presentation skills.
Each weekly workshop will include:
- One hour weekly class to discuss elements of prosody.
- Participants will submit a weekly poem, either what s/he is working on or by assignment.
- Detailed discussion about the poems submitted for evaluation and critique.
- Detailed written comments about the poems submitted for evaluation and critique.
- Assigned readings as needed.
- All workshops will be conducted live online.
- The first session is free to evaluate the poet’s expectations and needs.
- Cost: $50 per session.
- Time: TBA
