The Great, Big, All-Inclusive Critique Workshop

Description: A lot of folks who don't offer critique (who aren't doing so for selfish reasons) don't offer suggestions because they don't feel qualified. They don't have the terminology, the technical skills, the poetic know-how, or the formal education overall. This workshop is intended to serve the needs of readers and writers who want a foundation for suggesting revisions and giving writing advice. A new area of focus will be shared every week for six weeks, but participants will be able to follow the workshop at their own pace beyond the six weeks.  Leader: swamp-witchModerator(s): weirdelf Objectives: By following my critique blogs and some additional scholarship, together we will explore different writing concerns for poetry. These writing concerns include content, flow, word efficiency, imagery, literary devices, syntax, and more. During this workshop we will learn how to identify, analyze, and discuss these features of writing for the benefit of our own poetry and the poetry of others.  This is not a workshop for poets to workshop any of their own writing; it is an in-depth introduction to critique where we will explore “anonymous” poetry.  Level of expertise: Open to all Subject matter: Critique and Understanding Writing Concerns To join this workshop, please express your interest in being a participant in the comment section below.
