About the Offering

This one-week intensive workshop will focus on the chapbook manuscript, including sequencing poems, finding narrative arc, and bringing together the themes of a sequence. We’ll explore how our poems speak across a series as we revise, rethink, and re-see a short manuscript. In addition to writing exercises and guided prompts for new work for the series, we will workshop a manuscript of completed poems. Our class will discuss and examine published sequences, as well as the craft of writing, ephemera, and chapbook production, from DIY to letterpress, publication to design. We will each introduce the class to a chapbook we admire and offer engaged, critical feedback in a supportive workshop environment. At the end of the week, the instructor will send individual emails to each student offering feedback on their work, and ideas for moving forward.
