FOUR PROMPTS: THE BEGINNING OF FOUR NEW POEMS

The more you write, the luckier you get—and each time you start a piece, there’s an opportunity to get luckier than ever. The trick is getting started. Here, you’ll not only begin four new poems, but will learn strategies to begin many more. The session is open to writers of all levels and experience.
