"Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking."

Exeter Poetry Workshop

Tuesdays, September 23rd to October 28th, 2008 from 7 to 9PM.

117 Water Street, Suite #1 (upstairs), Exeter, NH (603) 773-0083

Through the writing, reading, discussion, and revision of our own poems, this workshop will focus on using the writer’s senses. Our writing will be a translation of individual experience into concrete images that paint a picture. This workshop will give you feedback from an audience—something every poem needs. Led by instructor Jessica Purdy, this class meets for six weeks and costs $95.
