Workshop Questionnaire

Please take the time to give thoughtful responses to the following questions, posting your answers to the Blackboard forum no later than midnight Tuesday:

• How long have you been writing poetry?
• How would you describe your poetics — that is, what are you trying to accomplish in your poetry?
• Describe your compositional process: when/why/how/where do you write?
• What living poets have had the greatest influence on you? What dead poets? If none (or in addition to poets), what other sorts of writers/artists/musicians do you admire?
• Have you ever been published? Do you submit your work for publication?
• Is this your first workshop? If not, what other workshops have you been a part of (with whom, where, when)?
• What do you hope to get out of this workshop?
