What makes a strong collection of poems?
In this two hour-long workshop, poet Daryl Lim Wei Jie will give you advice on how to select a series of poems for submission; how to curate the sequence of the poems, how to strengthen the thematic strands of the collection, how to appropriately pare down the poems to their elemental cores, and have a reader or judging panel in mind. Daryl will sharpen your sensibilities of what it means to seriously consider a collection of poems for submission to prizes, working together as parts of a coherent whole. In doing so, this workshop hopes to provide you with more confidence and a better sense of what judges are looking for when considering your work and poetic voice.
The $8 registration fee can be used to offset part of your submission fee to the Golden Point Award 2023.
