All Levels | Everyone has poems that get stuck, even though we still care about them. How do we find their heart? Revision is an act of expansion, a chance to deepen your thinking, invite surprise, and strengthen your relationship with your work. Gather at least three drafts to work on and expect a mix of discussion, small group feedback on 1–2 drafts, in-class exercises, and close readings of revisions by published poets. Bring one draft to our first class.
