The seldom discussed reason for this is that the two activities involve virtually unique skill sets. Participants in this workshop will spend the first half of the week composing new work and the second half revising it—under the guidance of a poet who will open the vault to every technique he has time to share. Our goal will be to have at least one new, revised and polished piece by the end of the week. The other goal is to acquire tools of the trade to become productive artists on your own, outside of workshops. Biography Douglas Goetsch is the author of six collections of poetry, most recently, Your Whole Life (Slipstream, 2007). His work has appeared in Poetry, The Iowa Review, Ploughshares, The American Scholar, The New England Review,online at PoetryDaily and Garrison Keillor’s The Writer's Almanac,on the air on NPR, and in many anthologies. He was recently awarded the Donald Murray Prize for creative nonfiction and a National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship.
