Among the many exciting courses offered by the Education Program at Hunterdon Art Museum in 2015 is a unique poetry manuscript workshop during April’s National Poetry Month with acclaimed poets Regan Good and Vasiliki Katsarou.

The two poets will join forces to lead an intensive but low-stress all-day workshop to be held on Sunday, April 19, 2015 from 10:30am-4:30pm at the Hunterdon Art Museum on on 7 Lower Center Street in Clinton, New Jersey . The workshop is open to adults and teens 16 and up, with previous writing experience and at least 14 pages of poems. Participants will receive valuable feedback on their poems, and learn more about revision, ordering poems, and determining which small press publishers might be right for them. Good and Katsarou will describe how smaller literary presses solicit manuscripts, and how some work cooperatively with authors.
