Description
“Inspiration” wrote Madeleine L’Engle, “usually comes during work, rather than before it,” but dedicated time for writing is often the first thing sacrificed to the demands of a busy life. “Students at the Writing Salon often say that that a firm deadline or a community of other writers in which to share writing feels vital to their work,” says instructor Julie Bruck, “but that can be difficult to maintain with a packed schedule, especially after your 5 or 9 week class has ended.”

This poetry continuation class offers both structure and community for the long haul, and is designed for people who have previously taken the minimum of Julie’s 9-week “Fearless Poetry” workshop–or the equivalent– in poetry.

For six months, class will meet monthly for workshopping. Between classes, students will do take-home assignments, supplemented by scheduled group e-mail exchanges of poems, revisions and written responses to each other’s drafts.
