WORKSHOPS.We conducted many weeks-long workshops in 2021 via Zoom to amazing reviews:Thanks so much for an engaging workshop what fun! The best thing about it, to my mind, is your affirmative and humor-graced approach to all. You have a genius for getting people connected and encouraging their work Margaret Lee, Tulsa, OKPaul Nelsons organic poetry workshops are less a class than a journey, leading the participant not only to an ingeniously natural method of writing, but to the living energy of the poem itself. And he does this all with humor, profound inclusion and deep knowledge about organic verse, its origins with the Beats & Black Mountain school and its profound applicability to todays poets. If you want to learn how to clip the strings of your mental editor and free your lines to run where they really want to, take this course. Rob Lewis, Bow, WA
