Sat, June 26   Poetry 101/ The Basics                                      Connie Jordan Green
Villanelle, pantoum, sestina, ghazal -- does this sound like a foreign shopping list? Do you
wonder why poets break lines where they do, what constitutes a stanza? Poetry 101 will examine
poetic forms and techniques, and will take a quick peek into the mind of a poet. Come spend a day
reading, writing, and discussing what makes poetry poetry.
 
Sat, Aug 14    Poetry/Prompts and Challenges                                 Bill Brown
Once more Bill will fill your day with prompts, challenges and writing opportunities.  Participants
will receive positive critiques and comments, peer reaction and enough started, partial, or
“nearly finished” poems to keep you busy for weeks.  (This class is full.  You may join the waiting list.)
 
Sat, Aug 28    “Putting the right word in the right order…”          Ina Hughs
Whether writing fiction , poetry, memoir or personal narrative - this is the trick. We will discuss
what this means, and, using examples from other accomplished poets and writers, we will work
off specific assignments designed to help make our writing sing off the page.

Sat, Sept 11    Point of View                                                          Darnell Arnoult
In this workshop we will identify all the technical aspects of POV having to do with pronouns, numbers,
positions, acumen, as well as the artistic elements, and explore how these facets work with other
aspects of craft to create the confident story voice, the voice that calls the reader to the page.
 
Sun, Sept 12   Lessons on Group Manuscript Critique                 Darnell Arnoult
In this workshop we articulate basic goals, employ proven guidelines, and practice effective
techniques to help members productively give and receive critique of their manuscripts,

critiqued aloud.
