poetry workshops

Craft sessions, stanzas

Poetry workshops are gatherings where writers share their poems and receive feedback from peers or an instructor.

The format typically involves reading work aloud, then hearing critique on craft elements like imagery, rhythm, and word choice.

Workshops range from university courses to informal community groups: I've been workshopping this sonnet for weeks.

The plural often refers to the workshop model as an institution in creative writing education.
