POETRY PROMPTS & REVISION TECHNIQUES WORKSHOP

This month's free online workshop for Seattle chapter HWA members will be led by Michele Cacano, perfect for celebrating National Poetry Month.

This is a Zoom workshop; an email with log-in instructions will be sent to members a few days before the event.

Keep this in mind: If you have horror poems in need of a bloody scalpel (muahahahaha) you can use this workshop to fine tune them, then send them off to the national HWA's Poetry Showcase Volume XIII, which is open for submissions until May 1. Editors are Colleen Anderson, Kyla Lee Ward, Erik Hofstatter, and Jamal Hodge. Submission information here.
