A Dozen Recipes to Revise Your Half-Baked Poems

We’ve all got poems stashed away that just don’t seem fully realized. This workshop will provide at least a dozen different “recipes” for reworking, reimagining, revamping those poems. Let’s experiment together with these recipes and see what we can cook up and share with one another in a relaxed and supportive way. Our goal is to play with possibilities rather than polishing our poems.

Instructor
