Ten participants will be accepted on a first come first served basis. Submit your request to attend to my private message box China Blue

Requirements:

Each participant will bring one poem taken from the stream. This poem cannot be of someone they "always" critque".
Time will only allow a limited amount of poems to be crtiqued in the workshop. Therefore your workshop leader will select the poems from those submitted. Poems will be handled one at a time from beginning of critique to completion , then the next will be taken in order.

Process:
Participants must devote 14 days to the workshop
Those that have time limits on the use of the computers should contact me or Dan (Hooded Stranger) and we will try to work on an alternative solution.

* Each participant will submit along with the poem "Their" critque of the same

This will be critiqued by other participants, which will culminate in a complete critque which may be posted. Blatant errors will be corrected. We will be more concerned with the process of the critique
