When the pandemic first started, I yearned for a poetry community and missed teaching and talking to poets. So, thanks to Zoom, I offered my very first Poet’s Studio online workshop. I had no idea that a poetry community would form around these popular online workshops.
I’ve kept The Poet’s Studio online workshops going because it allows poets and writers to come together throughout the year and without the time and expense of traveling.
Poet and friend, Rebecca Kai Dotlich, will co-teach some of the workshops with me and some I’ll teach solo. Many but not all workshops have guest authors. All the writers who teach with me and who are guests have written and taught for decades and have extensive experience in the writing community.
My rate has gone up this year (along with everything else). I have been teaching and writing for over twenty years, and my goal is to create a sustainable poetry community. For each workshop, we spend many hours carefully planning new content and reading each poem closely submitted for critique. If you feel that you can’t afford the workshop fee, please reach out to me.
