Fortnightly Feedback with Jennifer Lee Tsai
Knock loose poems into shape with some concentrated feedback from poet, critic, and teacher, Jennifer Lee Tsai.
Do you have a heap of poems that just won’t work, no matter how many revisions you make? Our Fortnightly Feedback course provides a place for improvement of left-for-dead poems in need of resuscitation. Submit drafts once a fortnight for advice and feedback from your peers, before giving a final draft to the tutor for detailed comment, criticism, and direction. These courses are ideal for those looking to get a selection of poems ready for magazine submission.
