- **Event Name**: Poetry Revision Workshop - with Bren Simmers
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-03:00)
- **Event Description**: Join author and PEI Poet Laureate Bren Simmers to learn tricks for taking your poems to the next level. Starting with a rough or stalled draft, we'll identify what’s working and what’s not, play with order, and talk about beginnings and endings. Then it’s time to apply the fine grit to line breaks, word choice, and titles. We’ll also discuss when to send poems out for publication and look through examples of literary journals to identify potential fit. Participants are encouraged to bring 3-4 poems they want to revise to the workshop. We will also generate new work that you can revise on the spot.﻿
