Tuition includes workshop participation, an individual conference with workshop leader, and admission to all readings, events and craft talks. Participants are invited to read their own work and to attend this year's Fifth Anniversary Gala.
Admittance is competitive in consideration of the caliber of poets and anticipated response of the national and international poetry community. Standards for admission to intermediate workshops are less stringent than for advanced workshops, but both require poets to submit an application supported by three of their best poems.
Each workshop, comprised of five sessions is limited to twelve qualified participants and three auditor seats to provide a meaningful level of discussion and careful, informed attention to your work. We urge and welcome local poets in Florida to apply for this rare opportunity to study in their home state with the nation’s best poets.
Applications and accompanying poems will be evaluated by Lorna Blake, whose first collection, Permanent Address won the Richard Snyder Memorial Prize and has just been published by Ashland Press. She is Executive Director of the New York IOLA Fund and teaches creative writing. She also serves as an editor at Barrow Street. She lives with her husband and daughter in New York City and Cape Cod.
APPLICATIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED OR E-MAILED BY OCTOBER 31, 2008. The non-refundable application fee is $25.
