So you’ve written a poem. Now what? The real hard work begins: revising for sound, sense, syntax, style, and strength. In this hands-on, one-day intensive workshop, participants will learn practical approaches to revision, using famous “case studies” and each other’s poems as working models. Through peer critique, constructive feedback, and writing exercises designed to focus and motivate your creative process, we’ll experiment with existing poems and explore new variations in our work. Students should bring two copies for each of us of a poem they’re looking to revise and are willing to share with the group. Cost: $40, Lunch Included. Limited to 10 participants. Advance registration and payment required. To reserve a place, call Len Anderson at (831) 464-8983. Email: lenand@cruzio.com. Checks made out to Poetry Santa Cruz should be mailed to the address below. Call first to make sure there is room. Then send in your check to hold your place. Poetry Santa Cruz
