INTENSIVE POETRY WORKSHOP
2 Saturdays
June 30 & July 7, 2007
10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Taught by Sarah Pemberton Strong
This "low residency" eight-day poetry workshop replicates the intensely focused environment of a writing retreat, without requiring you to leave home for a week or spend your entire paycheck. Class meets in person on two consecutive Saturdays at Arts and Literature Lab in New Haven, with daily email communication among members in the interim. The emphasis is on creating lots of new work: you'll write a poem a day for five days, receiving daily critiques from the instructor and a classmate. A day for revision and a celebratory group reading at our final meeting complete this productive and inspiring week.
Appropriate for poets of all levels and backgrounds. Commitment to the rigorous schedule and access to email required. Join us and watch yourself write more, connect with other poets, and enjoy the process!
Sarah Pemberton Strong's poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in Atlanta Review, Cream City Review, Spoon River Poetry Review, The Southern Review, The Sun and elsewhere. She is also the author of the critically-acclaimed novel Burning the Sea (Alyson, 2002). As a teacher, facilitator and editor, she has worked with both widely-published professionals and timid novices sharing their work for the first time; she has also taught in public school classrooms and led workshops for young people.
