About the workshop
Revision As Invitation and Welcome: A Poetry Workshop and Talk
Cost: $30
Pre-registration: 12 Maple Ave., or call (506) 433-8351.
For this poetry workshop, Phil Hall offers participants the opportunity to get feedback on two poems – one you send to him in advance, and one you bring with you to be discussed during the workshop. You aren’t required to share your work in order to take the workshop, but it’s a great chance to get constructive feedback on your writing from an award-winning poet and educator.
There is limited registration for this poetry workshop, so don’t delay.
Registered participants should send two poems to p.hall1@unb.ca by no later than April 6. Choose one of those poems and bring 12 copies to the workshop. Participants will workshop that poem together, and Phil will give each participant written notes on the other poem that they send him.
Note: Phil’s reading and workshop are partially funded through the UNB Writer-in-Residence program as well as the Department of Tourism, Heritage, and Culture, which allows us to offer the reading for free and the workshop at a discount.
