HOW TO REVISE A POEM: Easy as 1, 2, & 3
Wondering what to do with that stack of poetry drafts...?
I have some ideas! In case you're ready for next steps, I am offering three online instructional workshops discussing the "nuts and bolts" of poetry revision, laying out clear steps, and showing examples so you can try the ideas on your own drafts. These workshops will be relaxed and informative, with no worries about being put on the spot.
Revision is where poetry magic happens! Each session will cover different parts of the process. You are welcome to come to any one, two, or all three of the workshops. These will all take place before the deadline for the Poet's Oasis Anthology, giving you time to refine your poem if you plan on submitting. These workshops are offered through me and are separate from the library or city programming. Sessions will be held on Zoom.
