High School Poetry Workshops in NYC - Last Call

Every year, since the 1970s, the Academy of American Poets has held a summer creative writing workshop for high school students in New York City.

Students attend six seminars on the subject of poetry; produce and critique original work in a classroom of their peers; and give a public reading of the work produced in the workshop.

Academy interns who are currently enrolled in Columbia University's School of the Arts Graduate Creative Writing Program teach the workshops.


The deadline to apply is June 25th.
