This twelve-week class includes:

  • A welcoming, experienced community of other poets.

What Past Students Have to Say

This was a really generative and wonderful experience for me.
What I liked best about this group was getting to meet and read the work of many skilled and talented poets. I received valuable feedback, as well, that I can apply to more than just the poems I brought to the workshop.
I loved the free writing and sharing part of the workshop more than I expected! Tremendously grateful to have been invited into this group.
Rebecca is an absolutely amazing teacher, writer/poet, and person, and I’m so grateful to be able to take classes with her!
Thanks so much for these classes, and as always, for how you run the group. And of course, all of your support for each of the people, including me.
