PRAXIS POETRY
Praxis Poetry
Commit to your writing! Energize your practice. Whether you're a seasoned poet or just starting out, Praxis Poetry prompts are designed to ignite your imagination, challenge your boundaries, and deepen your connection to the craft.
With weekly writing prompts, mini lessons, and curated resources, you'll find inspiration, accountability, and ongoing creative opportunities to help you conquer the blank page, experiment, play, discover new forms and techniques, and hone your skills in a supportive online community of writers.
Praxis Poetry is a gift you can give yourself for the price of a cup of coffee each week, a reason to write, a place to share, an idea to get you started.
CLASSES
Poetry Workshops
Private classes for poets of all levels, from beginners to experienced authors looking for inspiration, accountability, encouragement, new techniques, deep discussion, a supportive community, generous feedback, and publication.

“Reading this book is like falling in love, then parting, then returning to the beloved, again and again and again. Reader, enter to weep, to laugh, to find solidarity. Enter to find, in its purest, most intense, most direct and available form, poetry.”
~Matthew Zapruder, author of Story of a Poem
