8-WEEK POETRY WORKSHOP: “Turning Up the Heat”

Writers will engage in the critique of their existing work while generating new pieces from weekly writing exercises, looking for ways to turn up the heat on their language and craft while finding a consistent rhythm to their process. Previous workshop experience will be helpful but is not necessary. The group will also read a soon-to-be determined book from a contemporary poet with an eye toward language, image and clarity.
