Dear friends and strangers,
This is a short post to share an upcoming poetry workshop I’ll be teaching this winter. The course is called Find Your Poetic Wellspring: Writing Poems that Matter, and it’s open to all levels of writers. Click the image below to read more about the course or register.
The course will take place over 7 weeks (6 weeks of workshop, plus a week off around Christmas): December 10-January 27, and is asynchronous (text only), meaning that course material will be released weekly but there’s no live video component. The course does include brief written lectures, weekly readings, discussion topics, a writing prompt, and weekly feedback on your poems from both me and the other course participants.
This will be my first time teaching a course for Writers.com which, founded in 1995, was the first writing school on the internet! I anticipate teaching more courses for them in the coming year, including a 10-week Hybrid Memoir Writing Workshop, and a 3-hour webinar workshop called The Poet’s Toolbox. I’ll announce those classes when the dates have been confirmed.
Note that if you’ve already taken multiple workshops with me over the years, the material in this course will likely be familiar to you—I’ve updated the content from my popular Art of Finding/Sources of Poetry course in this new version. But if that’s not you, and you’re looking for an opportunity to deepen and revitalize your poetry writing practice over this winter season, I hope you’ll consider joining us.
For the wild,
Sarah Rose
P.S. for your pleasure:
Brandon Dawson, my multi-talented husband, released his new song, “Wide Open” today. It’s a beautiful one: he wrote it after his father’s death in 2020, and it always brings down the house when he plays it live. Take a listen at the link below, or find it on your usual streaming service.
Wide Open captured it! The gift that death sometimes brings
