40 days

Session 1: In our first two-hour session, we’ll ground together with reading* and meditation, set intentions for our own 40 days of writing, begin writing together, and co-construct structures for daily writing. 

Sessions 2-7: During the 6 one-hour sessions, we’ll spend time reading* poems, meditating, and sharing and discussing our work and progress.

Session 8: We’ll reflect on our work, set intentions and goals for next steps, and then celebrate with a culminating online reading! 

Poets of all experience levels, who want to commit to a late winter writing project regardless of (and hopeful about) the outcome, are welcome!

*Poets we’ll read will probably include Will Alexander, Amiri Baraka, Diane di Prima, Stacy Szymaszek, Simone White, William Butler Yeats, and Ariel Yelen.

If 40 DAYS 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.
