Poet Business Institute

By: diVERSES
  • Summary

  • How do you turn into a professional poet, using poetry as a vehicle to financial and creative freedom? Poet Business Institute consists of talks and workshops centered around craft development, voice development, and business development focused on poetry. I'm Geoff Anderson (@geoffandersonstensentences), a Cave Canem fellow, a Callaloo fellow, and founder of a pronunciation business, Fluent American. All of the lessons I've learned from running my own business I am applying to poetry. Let me show you the paths I'm taking, the experiments I'm testing, and the lessons I'm learning.
