“My approach to writing has been completely transformed after working with Cynthia. The readings and prompts got me to think about writing a poem the same way I think about making a collage or a painting, treating language as I would any medium, responding to what it does rather than willing it into place.”
“I feel like my time at Pocket MFA has been really transformative. My understanding of craft was deepened and I felt really encouraged to explore my unique voice as a poet. My cohort was really supportive and insightful and my mentor was amazing. I think PMFA has provided me with some really invaluable tools and perspectives that I think will continue to shape my work!”
“Briana Gwinn is an incredibly caring, sensitive and supportive mentor, who brings the expertise she has developed as an editor for Milkweed Press to bear on workshop discussions, exercises, and participants’ writing. She offers specific suggestions for improvement that are on target and extremely useful.”
