Workshops are devoted to critiquing your work and include reading of your work in class with careful and valuable feedback from everyone in your group.
Testimonials "I am very inspired by my experience at TMWW. I came to it unschooled and uninformed, and I leave with a clear sense of windows being opened in the art and craft of poetry along with the inspiration to unlock them and welcome fresh air into my writing practices." Brian McMonagle, Washington, DC
"Butt-kicking and life changing!" Jim Walke, Dublin Virginia
