About the workshop from Rick:

These workshops are supportive and one of the many benefits seen over the years is the development of a lifelong community between participants. It’s intense, focused, and committed to the group’s betterment. What works best is if a participant brings a piece they’ve stalled out on and are seeking help with rather than a polished, near-finished piece—but that is each writer’s choice, of course. Up to 18 pages of poetry or prose can be worked on. One of the great pleasures of the workshop is the curation (not just by me, but with the assistance of other participants) of a personalized reading list for the year ahead, specific to your work.
