Welcome to Poet A&M University – Aesthetics & Mechanics, a 6-month creative writing and performance development series designed to elevate your voice, expand your craft, and connect you to a community of spoken word artists who want to grow intentionally.
Poet A&M empowers emerging poets and spoken word artists by cultivating both the artistry and the technical skill behind powerful storytelling. Our mission is to guide writers through the full creative cycle - writing, editing, performance, marketing, and publishing - so they can build sustainable careers, amplify their voices, and share their work with confidence and mastery.
This is a VIRTUAL series. You can enroll from anywhere in the world!
This program blends:
Aesthetics — the art, the soul, the vibe, the emotional truth, the voice, the brand
Mechanics — the craft, the technique, the structure, the discipline, the skill
Throughout this journey, you will write, revise, perform, learn industry strategy, and grow through community-based support.
Workshops meet every 2nd & 4th Saturday from 1–4 PM CST, with one guest speaker per month bringing live expertise, inspiration, and skill.
Visit for more information and full curriculum.
Our guest speaker for next class is the incredible Terry Odis (Feb 28)
In February we will continue to study more complex literary devices as well as dive into the foundations of voice, world building, and writing from lived experiences.
Tuition can be paid monthly or per session.
