  • I've been submitting my work in a haphazard manner for years and this course streamlined the whole process. The course cost is inexpensive considering the comprehensive lesson plans. I learned a great deal from this course. - Daniel M.
  • I have loved poetry for ages, but definitely felt on the outside looking in. This workshop was such a great, safe space to be able to try my hand at poetry without feeling like a fish out of water. - Jacqueline
  • My Sunday Series workshop with Xochitl-Julisa was wonderfully stimulating. I went into it with few expectations and I was charmed by the host's warmth and her ability to bring everyone in the group into the conversation. -Audrey

  • I loved hearing the words of each poet that shared, and it was so encouraging to get such support for my own words. - Ash B.

  • Submit It Like You Mean It was a great course. I was able to get my first two pieces published because of this class. It was very thorough in explaining the process of submitting and a great resource for anyone who's new to submissions. - Eisen Y.
  • Each of the sessions was informative and interesting—engaging, well researched and presented in a logical and organized style. I wish this class could have gone on for ever—I miss it! - P.K.
  • Always a treat. It is an amazing experience, to be given the same prompt as your fellow poets and witness what variety of poetry emerges from everyone. -Sarah C.
  • Anne Marie chose varied poems of different styles that made me see “places” from different angles! She was an engaging, thoughtful moderator and instructor. And it was extremely generative, the ideas were flowing! - Ellen L.
  • The mix of poems, analysis, and conversation in addition to the prompts themselves make for a rich creative stew. I appreciated the thought the instructor put into collecting relevant poems and making the presentation. - Ann Y.
  • Great pacing, so many great poems & a lot of prompts. I got SO much out of this! Kris was a wonderful facilitator. - Sarah H.
  • What a fabulous workshop. Instructor was enthusiastic, engaged, and very smart. Minute by minute she knew exactly where she was leading us, and the content was well curated. Her lectures were first-rate, and the class environment was welcoming. - C.B
