After deliberating for about a week, I just signed up for a paid sub. Wow! I'm so pleased with your generosity allowing access to recent issues and recorded videos. I sometimes have issues with prompts, but the ones I've read here (so far) have me inspired already. Looking forward to a productive year! Thank you.

I just did as well. Same thing, though I have been deliberating a couple months. I'm excited. Good luck with your writing.

Hi Antonia, It will be in the next Muse. But check your email as we just emailed it to you since you asked and to make it easy for you! ~ Kelli & Annette

This sounds lovely, may I ask if there are any zoom meetings or is this strictly an email based event.

If you mean our Weekly Muse Substack, when you become a paid subscriber, you get the Weekly Muse every Sunday morning AND you get to attend all of our Zoom classes/events for NO additional cost. That will include-- Jane Hirshfield in June, Ellen Bass in September, a class with Kelli Russell Agodon and Melissa Studdard, a love-poem class with Traci Brimhall in Feb 2026 and whoever else we get! -- Is that what you're asking? Let us know--we just want to make sure you're giving you the info you need! Thanks!

Ooohhh! Then we just gave you a lot of wrong info! :)

The retreat does not have Zoom meetings and is yes, all done through email. Good question! When you sign up, you choose who you want to respond to your work--Diane Seuss, Danusha Laméris, Traci Brimhall, or Jennifer K. Sweeney (or if you choose October, it's us, the editors at Two Sylvias Press!) then at the end of the retreat, you send a poem in and your chosen poet will respond to you about it with ideas, suggestions, what they like, etc.

Thank you for clarifying!
