POETRY BOOTCAMP
1.30 - 4.30 pm
Guest Author: Jeramy Dodds
This two-part program is a textual workshop open to seven participants per section. The workshop will intensely focus on at least one poem per participant to showcase its strengths and weaknesses, and teach students poetic technique. Participants need to arrive ready to read their poem of choice aloud. Each participant’s poem of choice will be circulated to the other participants a week before the workshop date. Please make note in your submission as to which poem you wish to circulate. The remaining four poems will be edited and commented upon by Jeramy Dodds and returned to each participant.
Note: A sample of a maximum of 5 pages of poetry must be submitted to register to this workshop.
Workshop Limit: 7 students per session.
