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!
