Poetry Workshop fees are $10 per person and each workshop is limited to 15 seats. Pre-registration is due at least two weeks before each workshop. You may register for any number of workshops. Registration forms can be found here

The focus of each workshop will be designed by the individual interests of the Greater Cleveland poet facilitating the session. We encourage everything from traditional workshop sharing and discussion, to writing exercises, to straight lecture.
