Flight School is a recurring 2-week long FREE poetry workshop put on in tandem by the members of the Sad Kid's Superhero Collective and the Flypaper Editors. Participants receive a weekly curriculum to read and engage with as well as writing exercises that will be workshopped collectively by leaders and other participants. Participants will also interact with a personal mentor who will give individual feedback and converse with you about your process and ideas weekly during the workshop.
The next iteration of Flight School takes place in late June 2020 and will focus on Poetic Forms as an overview and introduction to writing within many of the poetry tradition's various historical forms. All workshops will be held online.
