After the first day of workshop, I've gained some good knowledge. It was a good feeling to actually let a group of people hear my work. It was also great to know how people feel about it and to hear their recommendations on how to get better. I also enjoyed hearing my classmates work very much, I thought most of the poems written by my peers were great and the workshop is really going to benefit all of us in our future works. At first I was apprehensive about putting my work out there, but the setting in the workshop today seemed very relaxed and it seemed as if my classmates genuinely wanted to help me. I am very excited to read and hear more poems by my classmates and to get into the workshop environment again. I am looking forward to my next opportunity to share my work and hear what everyone has to say!
