The Poets Circle @ Poet to Poet

a private community for poets

Meets: Twice monthly / virtual

1st Wednesday, 6-7pm MT

Open to all poets curious about poetic process and developing a book.

Join The Poets Circle for twice monthly conversations on the nuts and bolts of poetry-book development and the big questions that background our process, such as: How do we develop poetic voice? Is a thematic approach to writing helpful or harmful? How much should we consider audience when we write? Plus, live Q&As with guest authors.

Build focus and confidence in the process of developing a stand-out poetry manuscript.

We’ll learn from contemporary examples and apply practical insights to our own work, including: 

  1. Unifying principles (voice & themes)
  2. Organizing and assembling your collection (book structure, sections, and poem order)
  3. Preparing your manuscript for submission (formatting, bios/cover letters, and selecting publishers) (2 classes)
