Summer Poets Studio is June 23

Open to all poets

From September-June Poets Studio is a weekly workshop designed to give form and focus to your poetry writing. The year-long approach creates the Poets Studio's special experience: a steady, supportive, and comprehensive study of your poetry among other poets. Lead by David Biespiel.

The summer session for Poets Studio is ideal for poets interested in learning more about the program. The summer studio is a special, one-day event: Saturday, June 23, 11am - 4pm. Discussion will focus on the program, new poems, writing and revising, and publication leads.
