Apply to join a small cohort of students in an advanced poetry workshop with acclaimed poet Kazim Ali, meeting four Tuesdays, November 10 through December 1, 6:30–8:30 p.m. ET via Zoom. Accepted students will workshop their poetry, receiving feedback and offering critique in a small group setting. Most successful applicants will have some prior experience studying poetry and will have published one or more poems in an online or print literary journal. The cost for non-members to enroll is $395. Members take 10% off.

How to Apply 

Manuscripts of poetry, five pages in length, will be accepted via Submittable. If sending multiple poems, each new poem should begin on a new page. Accepted students should plan to share works in progress with their cohort ahead of the workshop start date, with the option to workshop the poetry they applied with.

Applicants will be notified of a decision on or before October 31. Accepted students will be asked to enroll promptly or decline their offer so that a spot can be opened for a waitlisted student. 

Scholarships 

Two scholarships will be awarded. To be considered for a scholarship, check the appropriate box in Submittable and include a short Statement of Need in your application. Students seeking aid will not be considered for unfunded spots.
