Apologies for the previous messy version of this email.
I am writing to invite you to join an online poetry workshop taught by me, Michael Broder, the publisher of Indolent Books and the editor of the popular online poem-a-day series What Rough Beast and Second Coming.
Poetic Powers began meeting in the summer of 2024 and continued into the fall, taking a break this past winter. We are resuming on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 PM starting on April 2. The cost is $325.00 for 10 weeks.
This is a feedback-based workshop. Prior to each meeting, we share a draft of a poem with each other by email. When we meet, we read each poem and provide constructive feedback to the poet.
There is no didactic craft element per se—It is all workshop all the time. In that sense, I would describe it as an intermediate rather than a beginner’s workshop. That being said, I guarantee you will learn a lot about the craft of poetry not only from the feedback offered by your fellow participants, but also because I get quite teach-y when I give my own feedback on each poem. Moreover, I provide written feedback by email on each participant’s poem every week.
Because we workshop each participant’s poem every week, and because I provide written feedback via email to each participant every week, I am capping enrollment at five (5) participants. I already have two (2) participants returning from past sessions. That leaves three (3) slots for newcomers. GET ‘EM WHILE THEY LAST!
If there is sufficient demand, I will consider opening other sections on other nights of the week. If you have any questions, email me at: michael [@] indolentbooks [.] com
