Workshop!
come for the live edits, stay for the knowledge
Sunday, June 7th - you should come! The details:
The Craft brings you the intimacy of a workshop with the energy of a live event. Hosted by four published poets with an abundance of experience in teaching and editing – Nikki Allen, Lexi Pelle, Melissa Sussens, and Carson Wolfe.
In a landscape ripe with open mics and generative workshops, we offer something different – insight into the editing process and direct access to the craft of revision. No pre-reading, no homework, no lesson plans – we just show up and edit your poems.
Using a fishbowl style of teaching inspired by Megan Falley’s online poetry course, Poems That Don’t Suck. We pull four names at random from the attendee fishbowl list and live-edit these ‘fishes’ before audience participants, followed by a short Q&A.
The Craft is for you if:
1. You love editing poems as much as we do
2. You are curious about the editing process and want to learn
3. You are ready to receive constructive feedback and join the conversation with a tender heart
If you want to enter your name into the metaphorical fishbowl for a chance to have your poem live-edited, then please purchase a fishbowl ticket and arrive at the event with a poem you think is ready for editing, in a file ready to screen share.
If you’d rather sit back, relax, and observe, that’s totally ok too. Purchase an audience ticket and enjoy the show.

This is so exciting!! I've missed fishbowl editing (and all of your wonderful feedback)!
Considering I've workshopped with all 4 of you and had you edit my work, this is an impressive line up. I don't have any new work but maybe by the time the later shows arrive. I don't know how to screen share anyway.
