Join us for a dynamic poetry chapbook workshop designed to inspire creativity, foster a supportive community of writers, and guide participants in developing a cohesive short collection of poetry. This workshop focuses on refining individual poems while exploring thematic unity and structural flow within the chapbook format. Through group discussions, peer feedback, and expert guidance, participants will move their work closer to completion or create a polished, submission-ready manuscript. Open to poets of all levels, this workshop offers a collaborative environment to deepen your craft and celebrate the power of poetry.
