Have you stood in your own way? Have you been facing inward, keeping poems or full poem projects in a holding pattern, waiting for the right moment to finish or release them? In this generative and critique-driven workshop you’ll bring your whole self into the classroom as we convene and commune about existing and newly produced work. We will give ourselves over to our limitless potential to think, dream, and complete the poems and projects that have been politely resting in our laptops or desk drawers for far too long. Within one week, we will create poems, review poems, offer and receive feedback, and gather in community to map out a path to your finish line.
Students will be asked to bring one poem (enough copies for the class and teacher) to the first day of class.
