Question 1

1. Do I need prior experience in poetry to join?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Everyone’s welcome. If you’re new, great! You might bring fresh eyes. And if you’ve written before, there’s still more to uncover.

Question 2

2. How long is each session?

Accepted Answer

Roughly 1 hour 45 minutes, with a short break to stretch and recharge.

Question 3

3. What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Whatever you like to write with—pen and notebook, laptop, stone tablet. That said, paper and pens will be there if you forget.

Question 4

4. What if I miss a session? Can I catch up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each session stands on its own, even if there’s a through-line. And if you miss one, the materials can always be provided to help you dive back in.

Question 5

5. How many people will be in the group?

Accepted Answer

It’s a small group max 10 people. Enough for variety, but still personal.

Question 6

6. Will there be homework or take-home prompts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it’s not homework. Think of it as invitations to write and think between sessions—totally optional.

Question 7

7. Can I share my poems aloud? What  about feedback?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Sharing is always encouraged but never forced. Feedback is honest and kind—meant to build you up, not knock you down.

Question 8

8. What styles and content will we cover? Will we study other poets?

Accepted Answer

We’ll explore different styles and techniques, focusing on writing first, but also we’ll look into poems by others to see how they work and maybe borrow some tricks.
