2-Day Writing Workshop
Poetry Writing: The Sweet Ecology of Manuscripts
Dates: Feb. 23 - 24, 2009
Instructor: Judyth Hill
Location: San Miguel de Allende

Poetry manuscripts call for the same lively, passionate crafting as poems… It’s The Sweet Ecology of Manuscript. They need our diligent and tender shaping, balance, resonance and assonance.

In this workshop, we’ll converse deliciously on various ways to:

• order
  flesh out
  blend those poems you've written
  

In addition we'll discuss :

• broadsheets
  handmade books
  chapbooks
  collage and paint
  selection poems for a reading
  query letters
  preparing and creating books for the marketplace or as gifts
  

It’s a big world out there, longing for your beauty, your signature and song…

Finally we'll explore:

• finding the perfect publisher
  self-publishing possibilities
  how to stand up with your own work & love it aloud (allowed!!!)
  taking your profound joy on stage
  wing your words into celebration!

Joy is the voice.

-- E. E. Cummings

So, please, bring your questions, and your collections….and let’s have so much fun together – poets are the great praisers and lovemakers of the world!
