How are you feeling?

Up to a challenge?

Want to test your ability to write way out of your comfort zone?

Good.

Then join my workshop. It starts May 8th and runs for 26 days.

What could possibly go wrong?

Details are below. This is a 1st come, 1st joined.

If you want to be a serious poet, these are some of the excercises you need to undergoe.
