Robert Frost said that the last poem you write for a manuscript is the book itself, expanding on Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s belief that poetry is “the best words in the best order.” Great writers are intentional about everything, from syllable count to the order in which each poem is presented. Part lecture and part workshop, this class will give you a hands-on approach to finding the optimal order for your manuscript that maximizes each poem’s strengths to keep readers (and contest judges) hooked. We will discuss why the sequence of a book matters for publication vs. prizewinning publication, how to organize your own manuscript, and what it takes to turn your pile of poems into a prizewinning publication. Examples will be provided to demonstrate a range of sequencing styles and themes. This class is open to writers at all stages, whether you have just a few poems and an idea of theme, are halfway through a project, or are polishing your final manuscript to submit for publication.
