Note: Though this class is offered as part of the "Certificate in Poetry", there is no pre-requisite to join this class. All students, members, and nonmembers are encouraged to enroll. In this final workshop of the Certificate in Poetry program, the student will concentrate on the design of a publishable manuscript. The student will continue workshopping poems, reading and analyzing books of poetry, providing valuable comment and feedback on each other’s manuscripts. Further, the student will discover publishing sources for individual poems and contests for chapbook and complete book manuscripts, the necessary recordkeeping for this endeavor, and practice how to give a professional poetry reading. For students not ready to compile a manuscript, each class also includes a writing prompt, short lesson or introduction to a poet, and a read & critique session. - Each participant will choose one poetry craft book and submit by week 5, a one to two page analysis of the book. - Poem prompts will be given each week with the anticipation that the participants will generate new work. - Students will prepare a number of copies of their completed manuscript for distribution to the other students at the end of class three. - Participants are expected to actively participate in the read and critique portions of the workshop for both individual poems and manuscripts. Please note that you will receive your Zoom link via email 24 hours before the start of this class. If you enroll in this class less than 24 hours before it begins, please either send us a message or email us at programs@sandiegowriters.org to request your link.
