Fine Arts Work Center In Provincetown

2023 Summer Workshops

Gail Mazur Writing New Poems, Revision of Unfinished Poems July 17 to July 22, 2016 Tuition: $600 Workshop: 1-4PM Discipline: Poetry OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

There is nothing that doesn’t belong in a poem, what may seem “off” only has to find the right place inside the poem. This will be a week for writing new poems and re-charging poems you’ve been struggling to finish. In the workshop, with generous focused discussion, we’ll work to energize poems you may have been floundering with and to write new ones daily, suggested by exercises that can use anything and everything. Bring your tools!
