Great class. More challenging than I expected—in a very good way. The lessons and assignments were well thought out and well presented, and the instructor provided many creative process ideas and examples. Quite exceptional. I will definitely look for other classes presented by this instructor.

Marc is fantastic! He takes time to read each writer’s work and provide meaningful, concrete feedback with tips and suggestions to strengthen the writing. The readings and exercises stimulated and provoked my muse, and I’m pleased with the poems produced and revised in his course. Will definitely look for more classes with this teacher!

Gretchen was great. I have taken over a dozen online writing courses and this one was almost calming. Instead of feeling like I ‘had’ to submit work for critique, I not only wanted to, but I was anxious to read the other writers’ work.

Marc Olmsted was a terrific and inspiring teacher. His genuine love for poetry is clear. The material he shared to explain poetic approaches were unique, interesting and well researched. His critiques were thorough, kind and supportive. It was a very free environment in his class and I felt encouraged to let the poet in me loose to work and play. Marc’s insights to everyone’s posts were helpful and on point. I really could see he cared about what we were writing.

Excellent. This is the third or fourth course I have taken with Barbara and while each was excellent in its own right, this course was just superb. I own Barbara’s prompt book, excerpts of which were used in the class, and it was fun to practice these interesting exercises in a group of talented writers with the author of the exercises overseeing it all.
