Creating Your Book-Length Manuscript: Theme, Order, and Revision (ZOOM)
Intermediate/Advanced | We will explore the recurring images and motifs in your poems, looking toward the development of a chapbook or book-length manuscript. Order is more than merely a device or afterthought of one’s work. The instructor will provide exercises and strategies to find umbrella themes, write new material, develop existing personae, and delete chaff with the goal of finding your unique voice. We’ll utilize peer review and study of books by your favorite poets. Bring fifty pages, including previously published poems.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
