Arthur Vogelsang, workshop leader and poet, encourages anyone interested to apply to his upcoming online workshop series.
Vogelsang, who lives in Los Angeles, will take applications for the One-On-One Poetry Workshop until Sept. 7. During the seven-week course, Vogelsang will offer 700- to 750-word critiques on one poem per week, after which the writer will have the opportunity to respond.
Poems are to be submitted Monday of each week during the workshop.
After seven of these submissions, the participant will write a “conference letter” to Vogelsang on a topic of their choosing for Vogelsang and the participant to discuss.
According to the news release, the individualized attention Vogelsang can offer means poets of any skill level are welcome to take part in the workshop.
Admission is competitive, but Vogelsang wants a variety of skill levels represented in the workshop setting.
