Written and produced by The Albany Poetry Workshop in Albany, California, this page is a live forum for our class as well as for our poetry friends on-line who wish to read and comment upon each others' works-in-progress. Please join us in the critical discussion and the pleasures of the art and craft of poetry writing.

PoetLogs
We are currently seeking poets who would like to upload their thoughts to our daily PoetLog. Contributors will have the opportunity to interact with APW readers, and the PoetLog will be on display for one month. Writers may submit a poem, prose reflection, or stream-of-conscious musings on any topic. If you are interested, please visit the PoetLog page and submit a one- or two-paragraph statement of interest.
Poetry and Terror
Readers respond with poems written in the aftermath of the events of 11 September 2001 in this special supplement to our regular contributions.
Discussion Topic: Poetry and Terror
How should we as poets of the world community respond in our poems to the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the New York World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.? Add your comments to this question in a special discussion forum.
Online Poetry Workshop, Fall, 2009
The Albany Poetry Workshop is always free and open for your participation. However, if you would like to participate in a private, *fee-based* workshop with real-time writing assignments and poetry discussion in a password-protected chat forum, presented by instructor Scott Reid, please follow this link. Future workshop: May, 2006.
Every month we select the work of one of our contributors for discussion by our readers in this threaded discussion forum.
