To request an application, e-mail Travis Denton with your name, address, zip code and phone number. Include your zip code and a phone number. The deadline for requesting an application is November 10, 2012 .

Applications will be sent by December 5, 2012 to the physical address requested or to the e-mail address on the online request. POETRY at TECH is not responsible for snail mail or e-mail that does not reach you. If you requested an application and do not have one by the end of November, e-mail again. There is no need to email before November 15.

All applications without exception must be returned by email NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 12, 2012. Applications will be considered IN THE ORDER THEY ARE RECEIVED.

Applications NOT IN OUR HANDS by DECEMBER 12, 2012 CANNOT BE CONSIDERED.

NOTE:
Applicants will be given the opportunity to request a preferred workshop and a second choice on the application; however, if your first- and second-choice workshops are full, you will be notified BEFORE being placed in another workshop. Should you decline a place in a workshop with availability, that place will be offered to the next name on the list.

Applicants should submit ONE poem (30 lines or fewer --Please!) with the application. Late submissions or those submitted on the day of the workshop will not be accepted as instructors will have studied the poems ahead of time. An application without a poem will be taken as indication that the applicant wishes to attend without workshopping a poem.

Instructors assume that all who submit poems are ready for and, in fact, invite rigorous critique by the instructor and other workshop participants. At no time, however, will a participant or his work be treated with disrespect or harshness. Workshop size will be strictly limited to ensure a safe and intimate environment in which participants can confidently develop their poetics and aesthetic standards.
