Mentorship
with
Christopher Poindexter
Write like you have something to lose.
Poetry has never been about finding the perfect words. It’s about finding
the honest ones.
Whether you’re beginning your first collection or standing on the edge of your next book, these mentorships are designed to help you create work that feels deeply alive.
Dear Writer,
If you’ve found your way here, perhaps you’ve been carrying a notebook for years. Perhaps you’ve written poems no one has read. Perhaps you’ve published books and still wonder if you’ve found your true voice.
I don’t believe great poetry comes from formulas. It comes from paying attention.
To grief. To wonder.
My hope is simply to walk beside you for a little, to offer honest guidance, and help you write the poems only you could have written.
-Christopher
