You've written something that you love. But what if there is more to discover about it? Can you let go and break your poem? Through a series of deconstructing exercises, we will dismantle our darling drafts to see if there is anything else they want to tell us. Please bring one or two poetry drafts that you are willing to disrupt.

Registration dates:
