Facilitator:

Susan Blackwell Ramsey

Workshop Description:

There’s nothing greater than the feeling of having finished a poem, yet we’re often disappointed on rereading it. This workshop argues that this moment is where the real fun begins, that we should be grateful for first drafts because they provide us with the raw materials for exploration and discovery. Using approaches from detailed checklists and major surgery and recombination, participants will have a chance to experience approaches to revision wildly different from the notion of “fixing” the poem.

The facilitator asks that each participant bring a “dead poem”, or a poem that has been left behind.
