About My Workshops

The Pernessy Poetry Workshops started in 2012, around my kitchen table on chemin de Pernessy in Switzerland. I’d have some soupe du jour on the stove, and people would show up with all sorts of goodies — not only to eat and drink,  but poems to read and poetry exercises to stretch our imaginations. 

When Covid struck in 2020, we began meeting on Zoom, with a sense of doom and gloom. But luck was on our side. As it turned out, being online brought together English-language poets from an even greater variety of cultures and countries, and we expanded across four continents. 

Nowadays, I still enjoy giving workshops online and in person, but I do so according to demand.  If you’re interested in joining/having one, just drop me a line.
