Cooper Street Workshop: The Stubborn Muse: A Poetry Revision Workshop – Camden, NJ

Don’t miss this upcoming 2024 Local Event in Camden, NJ. Happening on Saturday, November 16, 2024 at Rutgers Writers House. Doors open at 10:00 AM.

3-hour long workshop on Saturday, November 16 for new and experienced writers alike.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The most meaningful poems tackle important topics such as truth, beauty, love, loss death, etc. However, many poems fail to connect with readers because they rely too heavily on abstract language. After examining drafts and published poems, we’ll practice crafting our feelings and thoughts into concrete language so our readers will feel and think something akin to what we intend. Bring two or three poems with you, and let’s advance them to the next level.
