Stephen Page : part five

How does your work first enter the world? Do you have a social group or writers’ group that you work ideas and poems with?

No groups at the moment. I attended workshops at Palomar College, Columbia University, Bennington College, Vermont Studio Center, and Cleveland State University.  For many years, I conducted workshops and poetry readings in Argentina. But, from those experiences, I found that almost all of my writings that I have had published were those that were never workshopped, or those that were not changed from advice from workshoppers. I learned to trust my own instincts.  Now, I just listen to my muse, write, rewrite, edit, polish, then submit the piece to a publisher.
