Writers with any amount of experience can benefit from and contribute to this semi-generative, discussion-rich workshop. this workshop is especially for you writers who struggle with the concept of revision and want to develop an approach that not only works for you, but that strengthens your poetry and your confidence as a poet. if you already feel confident about the revision process, this workshop will push your work further and hone your understanding of your poetry, specifically. everyone will leave with a more conscious ability to understand their drafts and pull their most unique expressions forward

Each class meeting will start with a lively, open discussion and some reading, which will lead into a fishbowl-style critique of students' work followed by a revision exercise or prompt for the whole group to try, together. outside of workshop, students will be asked to keep a log while reading through a short, curated selection of poetry books over the course of the workshop. each student should bring 3-10 drafts of poetry (at any stage) that they’re willing to revise honestly and dig deep into. you’ll also need some notetaking system for the log (journal, folder in your notes app, 3 ring binder, etc.)

noor is a poet who teases, challenges, breaks, and creates language. she's a Callaloo and Watering Hole fellow and a recent resident of the Vermont Studio Center. her poems have been published and anthologized with DIAGRAM, ANMLY, The Academy of American Poets, the Rumpus, Bettering American Poetry, and others. her chapbook, PRAISE TO LESSER GODS OF LOVE, was published by Glass Poetry Press and mulls over the ever-shifting role love in the human experience—and how best to worship such a multitudinous deity.
