Going Public:
Finishing and Publishing Your Poems

Throughout this 8-week course we will focus on building the constructive self-critical skills a poet needs to finish and publish poems. Working individually and with one another, we will develop the unique strengths in our poetic voice, responding to and communicating with the larger literary world. We'll read and discuss poetry journals and websites as sources of pleasure and inspiration, as well as venues for publication, and explore performance, blogging, and what it means to "go public".

Eight Thursdays, 7:00-9:00PM

Starts Thursday, October 2, ends Thursday, November 20th

Cost: $200 ($180, members)
