Testimonials

  • Tara Mesalik MacMahon

    The workshop was off the charts for me. I felt so uplifted during and afterwards, still do. I didn’t think I was capable of feeling /seeing more love about /in things than I already did, but I see it was possible, what a gift. Chen Chen made very minute count, so inspiring and personable.

  • Holly Marihugh

    Jose's workshop exceeded my expectations. Right after finishing, I felt inspired to write another prose poem, which was the best outcome for me. While he encouraged us to let our imaginations flow, he was super practical too, giving us examples of selected prose poems to dissect and discuss. His prompts got me writing immediately in a new form.

  • F.M. Papaz

    ONLY POEMS has a stellar reputation. Every aspect of it is deeply considered and informed, so it's no surprise that an ONLY POEMS-run workshop was just as packed with value, variety and depth. Many organizations preach accessibility, but Karan really embodies an openness that makes engaging with the workshop effortless. I walked away feeling inspired and empowered!

  • Richard Weistheimer

    I so admire how you conducted the workshop. Your command of and love for the material was inspiring. And, as evidence of how much I learned, I have more questions now than before!

  • Mateo Perez Lara

    The workshop with Karan was inspiring & a bridge for community. The care & passion he had is felt through the way they lead and teach the classes. I would take another workshop again.

  • Anonymous Attendee

    Enlightening! Karan & Shannan are super generous with their knowledge and I'm beyond thankful they are not gatekeeping these essential tips for writers who do want to get published.
