Get Published Poetry Workshop with James Dewar

Uxbridge, ON
L9P 1P3

Enjoy ten interesting and collaborative weeks writing, sharing and preparing your poetry for publication. In addition to writing poems and sharing feedback, you will be invited to participate in discussions about some of the most common poetic forms, rhyme schemes, rhythm styles, free verse and line breaks.

At the conclusion of the workshop, the facilitator will publish an anthology of poems written by the participants. Each participant will receive 3 copies.

A copy of The Poets Companion by Kim Addonizio and Dorianne Laux is included, and will be used as a source book throughout the workshop.

Blue Heron Books will offer the poetry anthology for sale in the store. If participants would like additional copies of the anthology, or would like to create their own chapbooks, James Dewar will be happy to assist.

The best poetry, as chosen by the Blue Heron Selection Panel, will be forwarded to poetry editor Jared Bland at House of Anansi Press for personal feedback and consideration.
