Poetry reading and feedback. Discussion about future direction. One option is to start with a tutorial about the many forms of poetry, to help writers determine if poetry is right for them, or to give poets knowledge of their options.

• Replacement for "very" in writing - a list of alternatives to avoid using and provide more concrete descriptions
• Discussion about the time line for the next book, tentatively titled Stories That Need To Be Told
