April is National Poetry Month—and it is National Poetry Writing Month! Inspired by National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), NaPoWriMo encourages poets to write 30 poems over 30 days.
The intention of this class is to help writers—whether they are just beginning a chapbook or rounding out a full-length manuscript—prepare for this generative challenge (and keep at it!) through resource mapping, community building, daily support, and gentle accountability.
Sessions will largely focus on writing time, troubleshooting obstacles through guided journaling and small group discussion, as well as celebrating wins.
Between sessions, Yasmine will offer writers a daily poem from a contemporary literary magazine and an optional prompt. Literary magazines may include Seventh Wave, The Margins, and Mizna, among many others that writers may wish to submit their work to after the challenge ends.
Writers will also have the opportunity to upload their daily drafts to a Google folder to share with their peers and, while critique is not a formal component of this workshop, writers are encouraged to forge connections with other participants who may be eager to form a critique circle. Participants will also receive up to 3 discounted writing coaching sessions post-course.
Toward the end of the course, we will consider next steps for our writing, including publication, and have the opportunity to read our new work at a celebratory online reading to which particiapnts may invite their communities.
Writers will leave this course with several drafts, a strong daily writing practice and self-insight into their own process, publication resources, practice reading their work in front of an audience, and a sense of what to do next.
