Cost $50.00

Workshop Description

In this beautiful country setting, we will share our emerging poems and gently critique one another,
with a chance provided for revising and reading aloud.
The instructor will suggest several writing exercises and time will be incorporated into the day for walking in the gardens,
conjuring ideas, writing in experimental forms. We will consider each others' poems in an entirely unscholarly manner.

Bring your own lunch and drink. Nourishment of a less tangible kind will inevitably emerge from among our various sensibilities.

Materials needed Paper, pen or pencils, one or two poems already in progress but needing work.
