I almost missed this year’s Glen Workshop, and even the day before I felt like I probably shouldn’t be doing it because I desperately needed more time to plan for virtual delivery of my fall classes, but I’m so glad I did. The community I find at this workshop is always so valuable, and even though we had to be online, we still spent the week laughing, talking all things poetry, sharing new poems in workshops, generating new poems… it was a glorious and rejuvenating time! Thanks to Lisa Cockrel, Sara Arrigoni, and the rest of the Image staff who make it happen!

Natasha Oladokun was a warm and welcoming workshop leader, and her emphasis on radical revision led us into some wonderful discussions (and led me to some exciting revisions!). I just adored each person in this workshop, and I’m so thankful that I got to spend a week in their company. I hope we’ll get to be together in person some time in the future.
