Are you looking for a way to collect and organize your poems into a manuscript that might one day be published as a chapbook or full-length collection of poetry?
Join the Chicago Poetry Center as poet C. Russell Price shares practical advice on how to edit and order a poetry manuscript. Bring your questions for a Q&A after the presentation.
C. Russell Price is the author of the chapbook Tonight, We Fuck the Trailer Park Out of Each Other (Sibling Rivalry Press) and the full length collection oh, you thought this was a date?!: Apocalypse Poems (Northwestern University Press). They are on the editorial and curatorial boards for the Ragdale Foundation, Story Studio Chicago, and The Anarchist Review of Books.

Accessibility: Closed captions will be available on Zoom.
Cost: Donations for the workshop are accepted at any level with a suggested minimum of $10. If a donation is a barrier, please email curator@poetrycenter.org for a no-questions-asked fee waiver.
About the Chicago Poetry Center’s 50th Anniversary Virtual Learning Series
At the Chicago Poetry Center, we believe that poetry is for everyone: children and adults, career writers and hobbyists, people with creative writing degrees and folks who write privately in their journals. We also believe that information about opportunities in the literary art world should be easily accessible to all.
In celebration of CPC’s 50th anniversary, we’re hosting a series of live virtual presentations that bring Chicago poets into your homes and offices to talk about your “next steps” in poetry: how to submit poems to literary journals, how to apply for writing residencies, and how to organize a poetry manuscript. Bring your questions for a Q&A after each presentation.
