Webinars
“I truly love your manner with the students. I particularly admire the way you help them find ways to not settle for the easy response, but to look inside to connect to something meaningful.”
NOTE: Each session’s replay video will be emailed post-session, so you won’t miss anything if you can’t attend “live.” The replay videos are generally viewable for one year, during which time the webinar (its recordings and materials) is still available for purchase.
- DIP A TOE: Critique for the New or Reluctant or Super-Busy Poet
Designed for poets who perhaps haven’t wanted to commit, time-wise or finances-wise or heart-wise, to a multi-week critique group.
Four separate 2-hour sessions limited to 5 poets each. Register for as many sessions as you wish. We will devote ~24 minutes per attendee to one 1-page poem each. Marj will thoroughly read and review the submitted poems ahead of time and heavily facilitate the critique discussion, while attendees will cold-read each other’s work during the “live” session.

John Berger said, “Seeing comes before words.” How may we see (experience) a painting, drawing, collage, such that we can locate our unrealized poems and build them beyond mere description of the visual art? After grounding the series in the varying degrees of response, we will view, per session, one artwork by a contemporary or traditional painter, then draft our own poetry or prose with some optional guided prompts. You will leave each session with a solid draft of poetry or prose.
This weekly hour is for you if YOU:
- Learn and write better in community and with a structure.
- Want to build or strengthen or jumpstart your writing practice.
- Don’t have a ton of time.
- Need a midweek jolt of creative inspiration.
- Love to access your imagination and memory via the visual arts.
Self-Paced Learning
- HYBRID-ARTS SELF-PACED LEARNING
you missed any iterations of the hybrid-arts series that ran from January through June 2021 (“Cross My Heart and Hope to Fly: What Can Writers Learn from the Other Arts?” and “RE: RE: RE: Practice, Process, Product”), you can grab these video learnings now, by the month or the bundle, and explore, at your own pacing, these focused, meaty inquiries that will serve your writing, from conception to execution.
Each one-hour session provides:
- One or more brief samples of nonliterary artforms.
- A group discussion about what those samples can teach us about artistic conceptualization, craft, and presentation.
- Sample writings demonstrating those concepts.
- One or more writing challenges applying those concepts.
