Year of Your Book: Deep Revision Poetry

NB: This a 6-week class, Wednesdays 12:30pm-3pm. It starts on Wednesday September 11 and ends on Wednesday 16. New students must send work to [email protected]

Part 5 of a year-long class. You have written the first draft of your full-length collection. Now, we need to order all the poems, decide if there should be sections, revise each of the poems, settle on the title, and most importantly—remove any poems that are not as strong. This series of classes begins at the start of 2019 and goes through the year. A combination of workshopping new and old poems and deep revision, serious critique, deadlines, and mutual support, the goal is to submit to all of the first book prizes in fall 2019. Participants are encouraged to enroll for every session. New students must email [email protected] with a synopsis of your manuscript and ten pages of poetry before registering. Class is capped at 9 students.
