Editing is an essential part of a poet’s creative process. In this workshop, you’ll learn to read with an editor’s eye and explore different approaches to refining and strengthening your poem. What do you look for? How do you make deliberate choices in language, rhythm, and imagery?
This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to edit the work of others, as well as for those who want to take a sharper look at their own writing. Under the guidance of editor and writing teacher Kiki Bolwijn, you’ll learn the craft of editing. You’ll also be in conversation with the poet whose work you’ll be exploring, Lelie Danesh, to practice having a thoughtful exchange that leads to the best possible outcome.
