Are you ready to cast off into a month of poetic exploration?
In this 30-day voyage, you will chart new poetic territory through daily prompts designed to take you beyond the familiar, into the wilds of language, form, and feeling. These boundary-pushing prompts, at times even crossing genres, will help you produce emotionally layered poems. By the end of the month, you’ll have 30 new poems, a reinvigorated routine, and the confidence and tools to keep evolving as a poet.
In addition to daily prompts, you’ll receive personalized feedback on one poem per week from me, as well as the option to join a weekly 1-hour Zoom workshop where we’ll engage in cold reads. No prep, no pressure—just real-time insight and discovery in a supportive environment. This is your chance to hear your words aloud, gain fresh insights, and refine your craft and feedback skills in real time.
Expect transformation. Expect surprise. Expect to write poems you didn’t know you had in you.

Student Feedback for Caitlin Scarano:
Caitlin is an excellent teacher. Her comments were insightful and helped us all grow as poets. I’d love to take another class with her again. Diane Carmony
My writing took a huge leap in strength and clarity as a direct result of Caitlin’s coaching. Her detailed attention and questions challenged me think more deeply and write better. Working with Caitlin is both fun and rewarding. Richard W.
Caitlin is one of the finest teachers I have ever had. She is very approachable and kind. I enjoyed every week that we met online and always had a clear direction as to what to work on that following week. I highly recommend any class Caitlin is teaching. Barb Santucci
If you are thinking of putting a manuscript of poems together, you don’t want to miss taking one of Caitlin Scarano’s courses. It was invaluable to me in terms of learning to identify themes for a group of poems, thinking about a book title, ordering poems in a manuscript, evaluating the best way to publish my book, and so much more. By the end of the course I had the bones of a book together. Plus, it’s hard for me to believe there is a better poetry coach out there. Lynne Schilling
