This poetry workshop will focus on generating first drafts of at least four memoir poems, if not more. The sessions will include plenty of time for writing, introductions of prompts and sample poems geared to each workshop’s theme. Students will have the opportunity to have their work critiqued in a classroom setting as well as outside of class. There will be activities to help you delve into your memories, some will be individualized and others will be group exercises to help mine your life experiences for memories that you want to explore more or that you may even have forgotten about…until now.

*The cost of this class includes a $50 critiquing fee, to be remitted by IWC directly to the instructor, for work critiqued outside of class time.
