Turn Your Poems into a Cohesive Chapbook
What if that long poem or series is a chapbook in the making? Learn how to visualize your work to see how your poems talk and play together on the page. Using examples from award-winning and accomplished chapbooks, we will discuss ordering, titles, how to determine whether a poem contributes or detracts from the overall theme, voice, etc. Leave with resources on how to assemble and submit your chapbook. Those with a strong publishing record will benefit most from this class.
