Workshops

Animal Heart Press runs a variety of poetry workshops, in a mixture of live and online (self-paced) format. All our workshops have a strong generative focus and offer the chance for you to get feedback from the workshop coordinator as well as your fellow poets. In this warm, supportive atmosphere, your poetry will flourish!

Prose Poetry Toolbox (next offering to be advised)
“Animal Heart Press’ August 2021 Prose-Poetry workshop woke up in me the circulatory system of poetry sleeping beneath the blankets of how I usually write poems. The well-thought-out structure and daily prompts led me to doors wanting (and waiting) to be unlocked. The richness of what followed was like fodder. On this fertile ground, I sowed, reaped, and harvested prose-poems like never before. Facilitator Elisabeth Horan’s gifted guidance wove a supportive tapestry, threaded with every writer’s creative contributions to our time together; time not one of us wanted to end. Would I take this workshop again? You bet!” –Karen P.
