13th Annual MoSt Poetry Festival with Michael Meyerhofer: “Pulling Up the Floorboards: Two Radical Approaches to Revising Poems”

For poets and poetry lovers, MoSt Poetry Festival is the place to be on Saturday, February 1.

Join us as we meet fellow poets and create space to write new poems in supportive community. This event features a generative workshop led by author Michael Meyerhofer, who will guide you through the process of writing as well as revising.

Let’s celebrate poetry together!

RSVP $40. Price includes continental breakfast and a light lunch.

If you are a poet with a publication, feel free to bring books to sell. Bring your gently-loved poetry collections or literary journals for our take-one, leave-one table.

About Michael Meyerhofer

Michael Meyerhofer is a contemporary poet and fantasy author who believes those two genres genuinely can get along. His fifth poetry book, Ragged Eden, was published by Glass Lyre Press. His fourth, What To Do If You’re Buried Alive, was originally published by Split Lip Press, then recently re-released by the fine books at Doubleback Press (click here to download it for free!). His third, Damnatio Memoriae (lit. “damned memory”), won the Brick Road Poetry Book Contest. His previous books are Leaving Iowa (winner of the Liam Rector First Book Award) and Blue Collar Eulogies (Steel Toe Books, finalist for the Grub Street Book Prize).

In addition to his poetry books, he has published two fantasy trilogies. His debut fantasy novel, Wytchfire (Book I in the Dragonkin Trilogy), was published by Red Adept Publishing, and went on to win the Whirling Prize and a Readers Choice nomination from Big Al’s Books and Pals.

He has also published six poetry chapbooks: To the Person Who Tends My Body (out now from Finishing Line Press), Pure Elysium (winner of the Palettes and Quills Chapbook Contest), The Clay-Shaper’s Husband (winner of the Codhill Press Chapbook Award), Real Courage (winner of the Terminus Magazine and Jeanne Duval Editions Poetry Chapbook Prize), The Right Madness of Beggars (winner of the Uccelli Press 3rd Annual Chapbook Competition), and Cardboard Urn (winner of the Copperdome Chapbook Contest).

Michael has won the Marjorie J. Wilson Best Poem Contest, the Laureate Prize for Poetry, the James Wright Poetry Award, and the Annie Finch Prize for Poetry. His work has appeared in Ploughshares, North American Review, Arts & Letters, River Styx, Quick Fiction, Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, and other journals.

He received his BA from the University of Iowa and his MFA from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. An avid weightlifter, medieval weapons collector, and unabashed history nerd, he currently lives, teaches, and inhabits various coffee shops around Fresno, CA.
