Our goal is to support, refresh, and inspire you.

Again this year we’ll offer one formalist track workshop, and two “regular” workshops (to which you’re welcome to contribute work that includes formalist strategies, or not). We’ve found that that each cross-pollinates with the other in discussions that include all participants.

We hope you’ll join us!

Once again this year the Poetry Seminar will be an online experience, August 3 – 7. To participate, you’ll access the events via Zoom. Program events will take place roughly between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM ET, with readings nightly from approximately 8-9 PM ET. We frequently have participants from all U.S. timezones and others around the globe.

• Spend four days with a select community of poets exploring your artistic work in the context of a rich variety of poetry ancestors and contemporaries.
• Discover how poetic community can provide models, provocations and correctives to widen your thinking about your own efforts.
• Learn from a distinguished and accomplished faculty how poets choose, imitate, enter into dialogue with, and sometimes argue with the work of our poetic ancestors and contemporaries.

The Seminar schedule features a daily presentation/discussion exploring aspects of craft and technique, an afternoon workshop of participants’ poems or individual, virtual meetings with faculty, and an evening reading, some by faculty poets and others featuring participants.
