Robin Beth Schaer will lead a workshop on revision from 4 - 5:30 pm. In this generative workshop, participants will discuss revision techniques and examine common obstacles that interrupt the drafting process. Using a series of exercises, participants will experiment with ways to reimagine drafts, expand ideas, deepen imagery, explore emotion, and discover new possibilities. All participants should bring an early poem draft and be prepared to crack it open and see it anew during class.
