Poetry editing workshop via Zoom
24 May 2020
Poetry Editing Group Gippsland (PEGG) held an online workshop on Saturday 23 May 2020. PEGG applied the same principles of workshopping and editing our poetry that we use when meeting face to face:
- the poet reads their poem out loud while participants view the printed poem, several times, so everyone can hear the nuances of how the poet reads their poem
- based on the poet’s reading of the poem, and other aspects of the poem, participants work together with the poet to try different things (e.g. stanza break, punctuation, or adding or deleting a word) to improve the poem.
In Zoom meetings, PEGG used the screenshare tool, as well as Track Changes in Word, to correct and improve our poems, as they are workshopped.
