College of Poetry's Autumn 2010 Lyricism Class.

Starting in October, in his hometown of Warwick N.Y., Paul led an intensive workshop on the art of song lyric writing. It was attended by a diverse group; from older poetry afficiandos to young rockers. Students learned the subtleties of word choice, phrasing, empty space and a lot more.

Critiques of the students work as well as a collaboration among all the participants were highlights of the experience. Paul plans to continue teaching, offering a songwriters workshop in the Spring of 2011. Thanks goes to the Northeast Center for Poetry and Warwick's College of Poetry for keeping poetry alive in the Hudson Valley
