    Three-hour webinars offering intensive instruction on elements of poetic craft, ranging from prosody and other formal techniques to approaches to the writing process and revision. Primarily lecture-based, craft labs also include some guided writing activities and Q&A with the instructor. An integral part of our Mentorship Program curriculum, the labs are the only part of the curriculum open to the public.
