Poetry Writing Workshop with KC Trommer: Summer 2010
This class is open to those who are just beginning to write poetry and to more established writers interested in working with other poets in a small workshop setting.
In workshop, we will explore the individual voices of the poets in the class as well as the craft of writing—the technical skills a writer employs when composing—and the art of writing, in which a writer brings his or her unique vision to a poem. We will work as a group to train our ears, eyes, and understanding to record the delights of the world as we experience it. In addition to reading and workshopping each other’s poems, we will also do close readings of poems both formal and innovative. We will use these primary texts as the basis for our own writing, investigating what we can learn from writers who have been slogging away at the hard work of writing well. We will discuss the stylistic elements that make each writer distinctive and further explore these elements in frequent short writing exercises.
Workshopping each other’s work will be a significant part of class as we develop a critical vocabulary and approach to reading works-in-progress. Students will participate in thoughtful, constructive workshops of each other’s poems and respond to critiques of their own work with attentive, imaginative revisions.
Saturdays in June and July - Dates TBD
Submission deadline: May 15, 2010.
$275 for a six-week class of 2-hour workshops - payment through PayPal
Manuscript submission required – limit 5 students

Student comments from past workshops:
“KC Trommer is a vibrant and insightful poetry-writing teacher. In fact, she helps resuscitate the poetry workshop model from its tired, academic slice-and-dice fest to a more open-ended and inspiring inquiry. Be prepared for a hearty and heartening mix of humor, encouragement and serious-minded devotion to your poems.” –SW
“KC is incisive, constructive, and inspirational.” –NN
“I highly recommend KC’s workshop. The small class size (5, compared with 12+ in other workshops) ensures ample time for each person and each poem. KC is full of energy and keeps the class moving, whether we’re looking at our own work, trying a writing exercise, or examining the work of an established poet.” –PV
"Do a workshop with KC Trommer; you'll remember why you wanted to write in the first place. Whether looking at each other's work or generating new material, KC brings the best of intellectual rigor, inventive exercises and having a good time to bear on the writing process." –DS
