Webinars

These workshops are for YOU because:

  • you want to make literary art.
  • you love inventive approaches to inquiry and instruction.
  • you thrive in a safe, rigorous learning environment.
  • you desire connection with kindred creatives.
  • you value a lot of bang for your buck.
  • you are ready to craft poems and lyric prose that transcend self‑expression and meet your reader emotionally and intellectually.

I can’t remember being in a poetry group where the facilitator/lead was so discerning about the poems used, so informed, passionate, and compassionate about the writing. Marj is just so skilled at finding several edges from which to push fellow writers.

What Marj’s Students Say…

You are an awesome teacher. I’m learning so much about poetry, poems, becoming a better poet. What you taught us today was heady, deep, exciting.

~ Janet L.

Marj, I want to tell you how enormous the impact of the last 10 sessions has been on my poetry and my ability to revise in many more ways than ever before.

I was also extraordinarily impressed by your willingness to make this such a great experience for us all. You’re a terrific teacher.

~ Jill K.

I always get excited when I see your workshop announcements in my inbox. Your impulses lead to good places.

~ Kathryn W.

I just wanted to take time today to thank you for all of your generosity of time, spirit, and knowledge. The assemblage of interests, curiosity, and expertise in your groups is a testament to your commitment to literature in all forms.

You and your classes have been one of the highlights of my year.

~ Nancer B.

I want to let you know what an absolute pleasure it is for me to sit in a ZOOM meeting with you as facilitator. To find le mot juste to describe the magic you exhibit, I resorted to my 1981 volume of the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language.

The four entries denote satisfactorily the magic you weave:

  1. Beautifully made or designed.
  2. Of such beauty or delicacy as to arouse delight.
  3. Acutely perceptive or discriminating.
  4. Intense; keen.

Simply a long thank you.

~ AnnMarie K.
