Radical Revision: An Introductory Workshop on Revising Poetry

Oliver Egger

Creative Writing Workshop: All Levels

Explore how to approach poetry revision as a creative and generative process.

We often think of revising a poem as simply trimming a few lines or adding a stanza, but radical revision transforms editing into an act of creation.

Instead of spending 2.5 hours polishing a single poem, participants will produce five new pieces that expand upon one original work by experimenting with shifts in content, perspective, form, and sound.

This workshop is ideal for both beginners and experienced poets alike.
