Workshop Format
“Beyond degree-granting programs, no workshops of this caliber are offered in the area where I live. While I might sometimes be able to travel to attend a one-week workshop in person, I would rather have an experience that lasts several weeks. Online classes make this possible.”
-Merrill Douglas, Poet
