POETRY AT THE PARSONAGE: Poetry workshop
Knowing when a poem is 'ready' can be difficult. In this workshop, you will learn basic principles of poetry editing, including practical tips around some fundamental aspects of poetry that can apply to all your work including line breaks, syntax and form. Bring along a poem you're working on for a practical exercise to illustrate the principles learned.
