Marin Poetry Center Online Covid Confinement Writing Retreat—WEEK 15

Monday, JUNE 22 - Sunday, june 28, 2020

Welcome to retreat days 99-105 (June 22-28, 2020), the closing week of Marin Poetry Center’s online gift to writers sheltering-in-place. My week as guest host explores the HOW of what we do—our strengths, tendencies, gaps, and habits—so we can open to more possibilities and compositional choices. Poems, discussion, and prompts join with tools such as mapping and modeling as we explore the multifaceted work of writing poetry. I hope these tools will also prove useful in other genres and endeavors.

 Much gratitude to MPC for inviting me to host, and to the poets whose generosity has unfolded over these many weeks of study, reflection, and guidance through craft. Posts will remain accessible here and on the MPC website, where you can access all of the guest-poet offerings.
