As some of you know, I’m going to be taking the Writing and Production Workshop next semester, which is simultaneously exciting and terrifying. My first two workshops have been in poetry, and I’m definitely going to miss the people I’ve worked with and the work I’ve done. I know that the Gandy class will be fantastic, and I’m looking forward to working with everyone in the class to make the best Gandy Dancer issue ever, but I’ll definitely miss writing poetry and hearing from others about my poetry. I’ve definitely grown as a poet in the past year, and the knowledge I’ve gained from other Geneseo poets has been invaluable.
If anyone ever needs to bounce ideas about poetry off of me, send me an e-mail and I’ll answer ASAP! I want to stay active in the Geneseo poetry scene my senior year, and while I’m sad to leave poetry behind for a bit, I want to see what other work I can do in writing!
Next year will also be my first time (in 2 years) without a workshop. It’ll be weird! Maybe we can set up a workshop-withdrawal group for everyone who can’t take a workshop.
