Manuscript Intensive & Poetry As MemoirIntroducing Luna Luna’s Intensive Online Workshops [REGISTER HERE] Luna Luna isn’t just an arts & culture website. We’re a creative community. So, we thought we’d launch these courses as we celebrate National Poetry Month. Luna Luna aims to foster our readers’ creative growth. Our workshops, held online at your leisure (with some deadlines!) are born out of the idea that everyone deserves someone to really, truly talk to about your work. Our courses cost a fraction of the course of most online poetry courses and are comprised of both reading and writing. Mostly, our classes are geared toward your objectives and goals as a writer. Our role is to provide you with sincere & honest feedback that will enable you to write authentic, innovative and unique work. Why take one of our courses?
 Poetry As Memoir: Crafting Your Story MAY 2014 Instructor: Lisa Marie Basile $20.00 special price 1-month course at your own pace Photographs tell one story and only one story. They’re one-dimensional. Maybe they’re beautiful, but there is little to be discerned. The colors are obvious, unchanging. The person is right there, eternal. Nothing can be inaccurate. Poetry tells a new story. The poet is equipped with another kind of memory–one that is fluid, magical, intangible and nuanced. This course will push you to tell your story how you want to tell it. Maybe what you remember isn’t exactly accurate. Maybe what your mother remembers isn’t either. Maybe that day on the beach wasn’t exactly how everyone thought it was. In this course you’ll read and write poetry that deals with memory and storytelling. You will produce 4-8 (or more!) memoir-poems as you work alongside the instructor, who will guide you through your own aesthetic and who will respect your goals. There’s no such thing as “If this were my poem” here. We’re here to help you bring out your best work. Class is capped at 6. Email [email protected] with questions. Sign up below.  Manuscript Work: Developing Voice & Craft MAY 2014 Instructor: Lisa Marie Basile $35.00 special price 1-month course at your own pace In this course, you will work closely with your instructor to develop, edit and craft a collection of work(you can elect to start a collection or your poetry can be written already, waiting for an editor). You will capture your real voice. You will explore your goals and emotional triggers. In doing so, you will work on your craft so that your poems are the best they can be. For this course, you’ll let the instructor know where you’re at with your collection, what your objectives are & what aesthetics and tones you have in mind or are interested in exploring. You will come away from the month-long course (which you may elect to be one-on-one or along with other writers) with written, edited and tightened work. There will be a focus on publishing during the last week. If you have a chapbook or book (up to 60 pages), you’re eligible for this class. You can work at your leisure. Class is capped at 6.
