Welcome to the Poetry Kitchen, a home for poets and readers who are searching for thoughtful conversation and deep writing time. Every year I offer a variety of generative, revision, and manuscript classes aimed at developing participants' confidence and independence within a supportive community of fellow makers. Classes are affordable and are open to all.
The following class is now open for registration. I will be posting others later this winter, so stay tuned.
Revision Intensive: The Details
Dawn Potter, instructor
One of the cornerstones of my teaching—whether I’m working with experienced poets or with newcomers to the art—is the belief that we need to intensify our own engagement with our in-process poems rather than rely primarily on the external advice of instructors or classmates. While a supportive community can be wonderfully uplifting, in the end we each need to depend on our own instincts, our own engagement with the art and our material.
In this two-day class, we'll focus on ways to engage intensely with details of craft while avoiding the sense that some outside "expert" has taken charge of your revision path. The days will include readings, conversations, and prompts, with ample time for off-screen writing.
Dates: February 15 and 16, 2025; each day 10 a.m.–2 p.m. ET
Cost: $150
Class size is limited to 12 participants.
Inservice teachers will receive 8 hours of professional development credits.
