The Attic Experience

"The Attic's poetry workshop puts people at ease, and that's the most important thing a poetry workshop can offer. From there, poems flow, comments are readily exchanged and ears are open to constructive criticism (which the instructor, in the workshop I took, gave with sensitivity and affection). The workshop was able to get at the place where a writer was, and not without challenging the person to stretch, to move forward--and to venture into sometimes uncomfortable territory, the place where some of the best poems are born."
