Who Can Join?
Anyone who wants to generate new writing, strengthen their editing skills and engage with the materiality of language is welcome in class. Writers from all backgrounds take these courses—everyone has something to contribute. If you are new to poetry workshops and feel anxious about joining, keep your eye out for intro courses, which are offered every few months.
Workshop Philosophy
Poetry Writing Workshops explore language as an art medium and operate as an advanced studio course, with a focus on producing and editing work. Particular attention is given to the practice of reading aloud and engaging with the materiality of language. Instructor will provide weekly readings and optional writing exercises. Students offer and receive feedback from peers, alongside feedback offered by instructor.
Most PFS classes take place online, meaning you can participate from anywhere. All you need is a good internet connection and either a phone or computer installed with Zoom, a free video conferencing program.

Six 2.5 hour sessions
verbal and written feedback from instructor and peers on one piece of writing per week
