….with these two poetry journals: Cave Wall and Naugatuck River Review. I was introduced to both journals through bloggers, and I thank you. I love what I have been reading!
In other news, I finished my workshop with Catherine Bowman today and it was a wonderful week! Her workshop, geared towards jumpstarting new poems, really helped me write a bit differently and break me out of the sorta “prosey” mode I fall into with my writing. I drafted six new poems this week — four which I believe are worth saving in one way or another. That’s good, because I really want to send out a submission packet or two before school starts.
School. Did I really say the “S” word? I would like to say that I don’t want to start back, but that’s not really true — I actually sat down a few days ago and revamped all my syllabi for my classes. It’s just that I have another week at Chautauqua and I want to think about poetry, not classes.
Next week: A final workshop with Julia Kasdorf.
