In this workshop, you will learn five simple strategies to edit your poetry based on voice, landscape, verb-age, metaphor loops, and point of view. This class is fun for beginner and long time poets alike!Even better we will use poems you bring to the workshop, so you don't have to wonder how the ideas apply to your own work.

Ketchupedia is an outreach of Flying Ketchup Press ® began in 2020 a grassroots network to connect the Kansas City & regional writers community through weekly blogs, a writer's word of the day podcast, a live poetry radio show, and two annual poet-in-residences including open mics, classes, and events to allow regional artists to explore motivation, creative goals, and advocacy. Our editorial mentorships create an exponential artist-tree effect.
