In this workshop, we’ll go over some techniques poets use to add rhythm, structure and depth to their final drafts. We’ll also go over the process of submitting your work – where to find poetry markets, how to format your work for submission purposes, how to write a query letter, and the process of assembling, submitting and marketing your poetry collections.
