 Two Sylvias Press Repurposed Online Poetry Retreats!
We are offering our 2017 and 2018 Poetry Retreats at a Discount!

The 2017 Retreat will be offered from January 4th to January 31st.  (CLOSED)
This retreat includes:
  • A Weekly Digest of the week's exercises sent to you every Monday morning. This Digest includes daily poetry prompts and exercises to inspire your poetry writing. The exercises also include sample poems and reflection questions to guide you.
  • A Critique of one poem at the conclusion of the retreat by Two Sylvias Press.

The 2018 Retreat will be offered from February 8th to March 7th. (CLOSED)

​
You can participate in these Online Poetry Retreats at home or on the go!
​
All you need for this online retreat is access to your email and some writing/journaling time. Do as many or as few of the prompts and activities as you would like. It's a poetry writing retreat you can do from your own home on your OWN schedule! We provide the prompts, writing exercises, & inspiration--directly to your email box! 

​These online retreats are private and do not include interaction with the other participants (unless you would like to join an optional and private Facebook group to share poems and your retreat experience--we will send out info on the group in the introductory retreat letter).


​
*We are also offering a "Just the Exercises" version of these retreats. For a further discount you will receive the daily exercises via the Weekly Digest, but you will not receive the critique, free publication, or submission list.* 



Testimonials:

For this poet, in this particular life at this particular time, your online retreat was stellar. The prompts had a weekly rhythm to them that was, for me, natural and yet extremely challenging. I learned more about myself and about my writing process and about where I could strengthen things, where the wall needed rebuilding, where it needed tearing down, than I have in a long time.  Your critique at the end of the sessions of my two poems was extremely useful. Detailed and gentle, informative and constructive. I would do it again in a minute. 
~ Donna Spruijt-Metz, MFA, PhD
