Re-create Your Poetry!
Revision doesn’t have to be a chore–something that should be done after the excitement of composing the first draft. Rather, it’s an extension of the creation process!
In the 48-minute tutorial video Re-creating Poetry: How to Revise Poems, poets will be inspired with several ways to re-create their poems with the help of seven revision filters that they can turn to again and again.

Here’s my attempt at a Blank Wave Poem:
“A Final Wave”
she watched him leave the house
& stomp toward the car
tripping over his feet once
before turning around to give a final wave
which she didn't return
or even consider
