Students will continue and/or complete some of the tasks begun in Poetry Magazine Production I, but their main focus will be to work collaboratively and individually on the following tasks connected with the magazine and the festival: the final analysis and selection of poetry for Freshwater, including sending letters of acceptance and rejection, with suggestions for rewriting when appropriate; designing the layout of the magazine; working directly with the printer; editing and proofreading at various stages of the process; working on promotion and distribution of the magazine, including mailing of copies to published poets, contacting bookstores, sending out subscription copies, organizing additional readings by poets published in the magazine; organizing the festival, including publicity, such as designing and distributing posters and flyers, sending out mailings, writing and sending out press releases, and arranging interviews with various publications; final organization of workshops as well as readings by both workshop leaders and winners of the student poetry contest; finding volunteers to work with the Freshwater staff on the day of the festival; and a multitude of other tasks that are certain to require their attention when bringing out a magazine and organizing a poetry festival. As in Poetry Magazine Production I, all students will be required to write and revise at least five poems, working in a workshop setting to discuss and critique each other's poems, which will then be submitted for possible publication in Freshwater.
