Hoa's workshops have reinvigorated my writing practice. Her imaginative prompts both engage with the texts that are the focus of each workshop wand propel my own work in new directions. The supplemental readings and weekly call/podcast deepen my engagement as both a reader and writer of poems, while preserving a physical and mental sense of space that allows me to feel I am fully participating in the test and the workshop, even in the middle of an otherwise busy "regular" life."

So many of the prompts, provocations, rituals, and questions from your class fed a deep ritual meaning for me; I was and am so grateful.

“Hoa brings a community of poets together and changes the way we read and write. Following her process, my poetry has taken giant leaps. Her sensitive response to my work has been as valuable as her classes.”
