Testimonials "Thank you for your stellar organization of Boot Camp and for your thorough, thoughtful, and useful critiques. I think the format works beautifully. What I found during the week were of course high and low feelings of competence-but mainly, I felt the luxury of being in the presence of expectation that I would have a new draft each day. Plus, the kindness and helpfulness of the critiques. I found the whole week rarefied and essential, booting back up my own disheveled poetry-making after a long down period." —Q.H. "Thank you for a great week. Intense but great. It felt like a pressure cooker of creativity and I have six poems I feel really good about out of the deal, as well as a better understanding of my poetic voice and style. You are very good at providing a critique that both encourages and constructively points out the speed bumps in a clear and concise fashion. I was also amazed by the caliber of the work produced by everyone this week. I will definitely be back." —S. M. "I'm amazed how exhilarated I am by this Boot Camp and how surprising it is to have such energy which spills out into the rest of my life, not to mention poetry spilling out of my ears." —K. S. "Thank you so much for hosting this online "boot camp" (it really was more like a party). You are a wonderful mentor, I appreciated both the administration of the week and your comments on my poems." — P. G. "What I loved most about Poetry Boot Camp(tm) is that rather than trying to fit writing poems into an already busy life, I turned into someone who is first a poet. For those six days, poetry was the center of my life. Everything I looked at had the potential to be a poem -- I was breathing poems. Poetry Boot Camp gave me a sense of what's possible for me as a writer. The best part is that it has stayed with me. I write more, I have fewer excuses to not write because I remember the week when I wrote my poems every day and got the groceries bought too." — M. H. K. "This is terrific. I'm so impressed with your efficiency and organization, and your supportive reassuring inspiration and guidance. What a great thing you have created. It is grueling, hard, exhausting, but also exhilarating (especially when I finally send that night's poem off!) and rewarding. I feel "like a real writer" and am learning so much about myself, poetry, and my own writing style and writing methods. Also thank you for your critiques. Very specific, helpful, thoughtful - each one resonates with me. You really zero in on crucial points." —P. M. "I had a terrible time letting go of my "draft" poems each day, but by the end of the process I was looking forward to hearing back from you and my peers. (Peers who wrote beautiful poetry!) Your comments were wonderful and more helpful than you can imagine. For me to find happiness in my writing means everything to me." — T. K. "Thank you very much for your leadership in creating the Poetry Boot Camp(tm) which was a strengthening and humbling experience for me. The training is terrific. I feel invigorated, determined to improve my work based on a number of suggestions and examples... The chance to share the work of other committed artists was very inspiring, both their poems and honest critiques." — B. H. |
