Elevate your poetic craft in this dynamic monthly small group mentoring workshop tailored for those already writing and eager to take their poetry to new heights.
Each session dives into the essential building blocks of poetic practice, from reading to refining your voice, helping you build confidence and broaden your poetic range.
Our goal is to foster a supportive community of writers, offering a safe space where constructive feedback and genuine camaraderie fuel your growth. Here, we celebrate each other’s successes and turn moments of failure into opportunities to comeback better.
With a small, intimate group (maximum 6 participants), everyone gets time to share and contribute. We provide recommended reading and expect everyone to engage with the selected texts for in-depth discussions each month.
This critique group is a great option if you want to polish your work to publication standard and/or prepare a poetry pamphlet or collection for submission to a publisher.
