Alice Fogel
Alice B Fogel served as the New Hampshire poet laureate from 2014 through 2019. Her latest of 8 books is Falsework (2024). Others include Nothing But: a series of indirect considerations on art & consciousness, which responds to Abstract Expressionism; A Doubtful House; Interval: Poems Based on Bach’s “Goldberg Variations,” winner of the Nicholas Schaffner Award for Music in Literature and the NH Literary Award in Poetry; and Strange Terrain—a guide to appreciating poetry without necessarily “getting” it—offering inroads to poetry useful for teachers, readers, and writers. Nominated for Best of the Web and over a dozen times for the Pushcart, she has received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, among other awards, and her poems have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including Best American Poetry. She leads book discussions and writing workshops; makes quilts and refashions clothing; tutors neurodiverse students at Landmark College; and hikes mountains whenever possible.

In the end you'll see that you already knew them all along. This workshop is your quick, self-help program for "getting" poems.
