Beyond Metaphor: Writing a Poetry Collection w Matthew Dickman | Sep 16, 2023 - Mar 16, 2024 | Online (ONLY TWO SPOTS REMAINING)

In this intensive, six-month class you will engage in writing a new poetry manuscript. From envisioning just what kind of poetry collection you want to writing the first drafts, revisions, how to organize a poetry manuscript and where you might send it out after, you will end up with a 40-50 page collection once we're done! We will also be looking at collections from Sharon Olds, James Allen Hall, Lucille Clifton, and Louise Glück for inspiration and guidance. | Maximum: 12 writers
