Comments

“What an injection of perspective! I learned so much. I mean, I knew the power of titles, but now I have a better understanding of the WHY & HOW. Line breaks have always been something "I just felt." Now I think I understand more about effective, more purposeful ways to use them. Line endings, too. The last session gave me new insights into alternate ways (for me) to submit.”

“Robbin's facilitation was perfect. What she did was to lay out options. I love options. There's no right or wrong way to write poetry, but perhaps "better ways." Her lists of books was useful (I've already received 5 of them and more are on the way). All in all, this workshop is exactly what I needed at this time.”

“Bravo!”

“Just the 'boost' I needed: refreshed perspectives toward reading poems and practicing the craft. The instructor was very good about encouraging discussion.”
