What to Fiddle With and What to Leave Alone when Poems Break Down on the Side of the Road and No One Stops to Help.  

Participants are invited to bring along a poem-in-progress (or a banger from the bottom drawer) or, equally, to come empty-handed (but with their sleeves rolled up!) The workshop will consist of practical (as well as a few highly impractical) exercises for getting underneath and around the back of a poem in order to get oil to those seized-up bearings.
