Poetry WorkshopInstructor: Craig CotterA poetry workshop should be a safe and sacred placewhere poets can explore deep emotion and thought.However, if you are seeking a poetry workshop thatwill simply praise your work, this class is not for you.Our work together will explore your work, alongwith discussing the works of masters. For each class,students must bring enough copies of their poemsto share with everyone;and the workshop will beginwith a poetry reading of all poems. We will workthrough each poem one-by-one, focusing uponunderstanding what each poet is trying to accomplish.Although students are expected to write at least oneoriginal poem for each workshop, do not avoidcoming to class because you have not written one.You may learn more about writing by listening tothe constructive criticism of another students’ work;and hearing other students’ poems may inspire youin a way that sitting alone with your thoughts maynot. Unpublished poets: information availableabout best submission practices. Class is designedfor adults.
