In this writing workshop, you will read your poem, as well as share comments and reactions to the poems of other readers. This is not a didactic course on how to write poetry. Beginners are welcome. Recent works are preferred; older/re-worked poems are also welcome. Ground rules for this course are simple: confidentiality and a prohibition to negative commentary prior to reading your poem. Please bring copies of your poem to class meetings.
