Master’s Poetry Writing
 
8-Week Workshop
This is The Poetry Center’s professional-level course. This workshop series is best for you if:
  • You have completed the designated prerequisites for the course (Intro, Advanced, and/or documentation of studies from another organization or school)
The Master’s Poetry Writing Workshop places a significant emphasis on group critique of participant’s projects; the main goal of this workshop is to help our writers bring their projects to a publishable level. Master’s workshops allow participants to workshop long portions of manuscripts. Like the Advanced course, you may take the Master’s workshop repeatedly as you continue to develop projects.
