Hi everyone

Here is an interesting and witty discussion on how to take part in a poetry workshop, partly I think tongue-in-cheek:

Chris - just did a speed-read on this - it's hysterical! I will print this one out so I won't forget these invaluable tips!

Thanks for the link!

Chris, I'm glad you were at last able to bring this to our attention.

P.S. I always like to say, "Your poem was utterly outstanding, except for the words."

That article was hilarious. I think I will use some of the techniques when the poetry workshop portion of my intro to creative writing class begins. I just want to get back at some people who did not like my short story. =P
