"Thank you for everything; what a wonderfully provocative weekend! I have attended many many conferences and workshops while lurking through the swamps of arranging a manuscript, and the revelations of the time at Colrain were the most concrete realizations I have had in the past few years of this work. Thank you for providing the structure and guidance to allow epiphany."
—M. Hasemann, NY
NOTE: This workshop is filled through March. Email to query about waiting list: conferences@colrainpoetry.com
Though many of the poets in this workshop are working at an advanced level and have publications (books and/or journals), this workshop is for any poet wishing to re-envision, deepen and find the best expression of their work, perhaps with the goal of a manuscript in mind.
$300 for four workshops. Limited to 9 participants.
