\n\nJoin award-winning poet\, teacher\, editor\, and literary agent John Sibley Williams for this \;intensive four-session workshop that will take you all the way from inspiration to publication! This workshop is for poets ready to organize their work into a collection\, as well as working toward journal and book publication.

Poets will be guided through a series of lessons and hands-on activities that each focus on a different aspect of creating\, structuring\, and finally publishing a new collection.
