Poet Dara-Lyn Shrager leads this eight-week workshop designed for experienced poets seeking feedback on a work in progress. Registration required as space is limited.
Each participant will be assigned a one-hour slot in which their poem (in draft form) will be analyzed by the group. Strategies for revision will be offered globally as well as on a line-by-line basis. Each poet must come prepared with a poem that can be distributed one week prior to our first meeting.
