2023 Summer Workshops

Erin Belieu Craft Tools for Generation and Revision – CANCELED July 31 to August 5, 2022 Tuition: $800.00 Workshop: 9 AM - 12 PM Discipline: Poetry OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

In this workshop, we will discuss poems at the beginning of class that focus on important elements of craft. We’ll use these poems as craft prompts for drafts you may choose to share with the group (or not. Entirely up to you). We will also workshop poems you’ve been hoping to revise but for which you’re seeking fresh ideas. I want this to be a flexible space that meets your present needs and level of experience as a writer.

Unfortunately we have had to cancel this course for Summer 2022. Please reach out to ssiegel@dev.fawc.org with any questions.
