This workshop is intended for writers who are in the process of crafting poems. Its goal is to empower writers to re-think and rewrite poems that are in-progress. The instructor will help students explore the core of their poems and salvage the best lines and images to create a stronger version of the original. Class exercises and readings will help students hone their craft and develop an ear for voice and language. Classmates will share versions of poems and give and receive responses to changes. An opportunity for reflective writing will be provided at the end of each class.
