This summer through Studio & Craft: Creative Burst sessions! These are low-stakes-but-high-focus sessions to kickstart new work or move the needle on work in progress. An optional prompt will be provided at each session. Open to writers of all genres and experience levels! studioandcraft.com

This June I'll be offering a virtual 4-week workshop through Studio & Craft--if you're looking for community, feedback, prompts, and a balance of structure and flexibility, please join us! Workshop caps at 10 participants. Questions? Please reach out! studioandcraft.com

Hoping to jumpstart some new poems this summer? Looking for a writing community or focused feedback? Today I'm launching Studio & Craft, a poetry community offering generative sessions, workshops, and manuscript consultations!

This incredibly ecologically aware love poem from Stacey Balkun ✨

“He’s made of rage and tinted glass, and we’re / made of desire and what if and what I want / to say is, Dude, we have a room, but we / got hungry. Every three days we have to eat / or get mimosas or get yelled at by you.” —Andrea Cohen, “Springfield” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

New poems in the new Waxwing! Here's one. (Also, whew, this place seems much better than the other place...)
