From Working Draft to Final Copy (6 sessions)

Much as our writing style and the architecture of our poems are informed by what we read, so are our skills as line and copy editors informed by our efforts to help shape work outside of our own. It widens our field of vision and hones our editing skills. This advanced workshop opens with strategies for building revision into your writing practice and approaching working drafts to bring them to final form. Sessions begin with brief, warm-up writing prompts. The remainder of each session is devoted entirely to the workshoping of poems. Please bring 12 copies of three recent poems to the first session. (Limited to 12 participants) Note: No Class 11/5.
