$170-330 sliding scale

ALTER is a communal space to develop our seed texts into fully-formed poems. You’re invited to bring drafts, notes, and scraps, or to come with empty-hands and open-mind. Each session will begin with prompts designed to reinvigorate or deepen an existing text you’ve brought, or to generate new writing - the choice is yours. Most of our time will be discussing and responding to each other’s work, with an eye towards understanding what’s already there, and what may want to emerge more fully. Open to all levels, poetry focused.

    If ALTER sounds like what you need and you want to join but can’t pay in full, or at all, please include a brief message when you register. I offer payment plans and a limited number of scholarships, especially to writers impacted by lived experiences of racism and/or transphobia and/or other forms of systemic oppression.
