Join my Poetry Workshops!


Music and Food in Poetry
Over the course of this seven-week poetry workshop, we will discover the landscape of camouflaged music in poetry, and explore through food in poetry, our relationships to family, culture, and earth.
This workshop will explore the variations of how poetic forms describe and express.
The workshop will be a generative one, as well as emphasizing craft, and specific and careful word choices, and how and why poetry elicits reactions. My wish is to meet you wherever you are as a poet, and guide towards writing more finished poems, therefore inviting you even more so into this community of poets.

"Poetry can be a mysterious creature. As a sensuous poet, Cathy Strisik knows well how to invite verse out into vulnerable openings--sun filled clearings of meadows and streams. As a gifted teacher, she shares wisdom on the way to poetry's dwelling place. I study--a lot--with many poets. Cathy is among the best. I will continue to study with her every chance I can."
​-Kate O'Neil

"Cathy Strisik’s poetry workshops have helped to expand the way I look at and feel poetry. I found the knowledge and passion for poetry she showed in her classes nurtured my desire to write. I valued how she brought out each person’s own unique path to writing through her style of teaching. The classes helped me to become more aware of each of my senses in order to find words to write about challenging topics.  It was a gift to be a part of her workshops!" 
-Dianne Vona

"Cathy Strisik's poetry workshops are sheer pleasure! She has an amazing ability to bring out the best in us, to see the strengths in what we write, and to guide us toward more "poetic" expression. I loved the entire experience." 
-Margery Reading

"Cathy Strisik pulls from us our best by providing the suspension cables to hoist us into the big sky of poetry."
-Tiffany Jama
