Poetry Writing Workshops |
Tutorials
The poetry writing workshops are at the heart of the Getaway.
Each morning you gather with the other poets to discuss a packet of poems. Then Peter gives
one of his imaginative, challenging prompts and sends you off to
write. After lunch you can keep writing or attend your workshop
group
to get feedback on your new poem.
In addition, your tuition includes a twenty minute tutorial
with one of our faculty who will give you a constructive
critique on a poem in progress.
Poetry Writing - Filled*
Stimulating assignments will start you writing.
Positive feedback will help you revise your new poems into more
mature literary works. Your tuition also includes a one-on-one
tutorial which you can sign up for
after you arrive at the Getaway.
Limited to 10 participants per section
