How do we best approach compiling and submitting work for publication in print and online journals? How is this process different from the submission of full-length manuscripts to contests and other publishers? And once we have our book in print, how do we promote the work through readings and other activities in the poetry community? Time permitting, participants will also be led in exercises designed to generate new work.

Seminar with
Bryan Penberthy,
“The Poetic Sequence”
In contemporary poetry we are witnessing a resurgence of the poet as storyteller, crafting extended narratives to articulate the world through poetic sequences: linked series of poems in the service of a larger story. In this seminar we will explore the craft of sequence with a guided discussion of effective poems and techniques along with exercises designed to engage our imaginations and skills in a fresh way.
