Workshops

The last workshop for the season has come and gone. Stay tuned this summer for the line-up of guest poet critics for the 2008-2009 season! We will resume in September on the third Sunday, as usual, 1:30 p.m. at the University City Library.

Poetry workshops are held the third Sunday of the month from September through April at 1:30 pm in the auditorium of the University City Library, 6702 Delmar, University City, MO. The guest poet/critic will lead the workshop and provide professional critique on a selection of the pre-submitted manuscripts. All poems submitted will receive written comments. You may submit poems via U.S. Mail or e-mail to be received by the Monday before the workshop. If submitting by mail, send two copies of the poem to Workshop Submission, St. Louis Poetry Center, 567 North & South, #8, St. Louis, MO 63130. If submitting by e-mail, send as an attachment in Microsoft Word to info@stlouispoetrycenter.org and put “Workshop Submission” in the Subject Line. If an email response is not received in 24 hours, please re-send or call 973-0616.

With either method, submit only one poem and no longer than one page. Use 12 or 14 point font only. If using a pen name, provide real name and mailing address. Poet should plan to attend the workshop.

Everyone, regardless of experience or membership in SLPC, is encouraged to participate. You do not need to submit a poem to attend. Workshops are free and open to the public.
