@ Thursdays May 14, 21, 28 and June 4 Class size limited to 8 participants This spring, poet Elizabeth Jacobson is offering a new session of her popular workshop seriesIntimate Immersion. During this four-week in-person intensive, the focus is on generating newpoems, critiquing each participant’s work, revising poems, and looking at elements of craft. Eachmeeting, participants are invited to bring a new poem (with copies for everyone) for workshopdiscussion. Since this is the first look, the process creates a deep, concentrated attentiondifferent from preparing critique notes ahead of time. Additionally, contemporary poems areprovided as a catalyst for the following week’s writing prompt. This is an intimate, focusedimmersion to reinforce the writing practice and foster the evolution of new poems. No class fees can be refunded after two weeks prior to start date.
