Hello Jane,

I told Julie how much I enjoyed her “Fearless Poetry Workshop” and I wanted to share it with you.  I look forward to seeing everyone and hearing their poetic voices.  Julie has been the greatest support and the greatest teacher in the editing process.  I only experience support from her.  The work we do is always how to make our voices stronger or truer.  Never a “no”, always a redirection.  It is subtle and powerful.  I never thought I would be able to write “on command”  and surprised myself by being able to do just that.  I have signed up for the six month course and feel so lucky that it was offered at just the right time for me.  Your place is such a gem.

Thank you so much for creating a safe space [Julie Bruck's Fearless Poetry Workshop] in which to share poetry. I appreciate Julie’s gentle honesty and rigorous reading of my writing. It was a big leap for me to put my work out there and I’m so glad I did. I feel connected to a small group of writers and one fabulous poet/teacher.

I will try to move my Monday night commitment so I can join you again, if not this Spring, then in the Fall.

With gratitude,

Palmore

Just a quick note to tell you how good Julie Bruck’s Fearless Poetry class was. I took her Bootcamp last summer and was looking forward to a longer class with her. I thoroughly enjoyed the five week class in March. Even though I had to miss one session I was able to participate by emailing her the assignment for that day which she took to the group and consolidated the feedback for me. Over the course of the class each person’s distinctive voice emerged in the various assignments.

I will probably sign up for her next series. . .

. . .I’ve been so pleased with all the classes and the instructors I’ve met at The Writing Salon. You do find wonderful people to teach these classes and I’m always happy to recommend them to friends.

The poetry bootcamp was fantastic! Julie is energetic, kind and honest–a wonderful teacher. I
liked her style so much that I came home yesterday and immediately signed up for the Monday night poetry workshop that she’s teaching soon. It was a great experience and helped me rekindle the fire.

Thanks,

Just a quick note to say how fun Julie’s Fearless Poetry Bootcamp class was. Having never attended such a class, I found it challenging, thought provoking, and fun. Julie did not make me think. She empowered me with insight on how to think. Very cool with a way cool instructor!
