Advanced Poetry Workshop with Kerri Webster

In this five week workshop, poets interested in taking their work to the next level will hone their skills via generating and workshopping new poems. This class is ideal for those who've participated in the Cabin's drop-in nights, taken previous poetry workshops, or have been writing for a while and feel ready to share their work in a supportive and engaged community of like-minded poets. We'll also discuss literary journal and book publication. Workshop limited to twelve participants.
