Policromia Poetry Workshop
In conjunction with our International Poetry Festival, the Siena Art Institute offers the Policromia Poetry Workshop.
Led by poets Dora Malech and Will Schutt, the Poetry Workshop offers four days of writing workshops, master classes, and individual conferences, and culminates in a final reading.
Immediately following the workshop, participants attend the Policromia International Poetry Festival, four days of poetry readings, roundtable discussions, and receptions in the city of Siena.
The Policromia Poetry Workshop is a great opportunity for writers looking to refine their craft, share their work, and join the conversation around contemporary poetry and translation.
While workshops, master classes, and conferences are in English, we welcome applications from non-native speakers.
