What We Do: At The Poetry Salon, we support you in every step of your writing journey—from learning basic techniques to reaching creative breakthroughs. Whether you're just learning your craft or publishing your third book, we’re here to help you develop your most authentic voice, innovate and grow. More importantly, we’re here to help you have fun and make friends with fellow artists who appreciate you and your work.
Who We Are: Poets who attend our workshops have been nominated for Best of the Net, Pushcarts, and other awards. They have had work published in publications such as Poet Lore, Prairie Schooner, Rust + Moth, and even been featured in The Best Poets of the Year edited by David Lehman. Other poets who write with us pursue the art for love of the art itself. Both “public” and “private” writers are welcome here.
How It Works
This is a space where you can be your true self and find the support you need to thrive. We offer two options for enrollment, The Daily Poet, and The Sunday Poet. The Daily Poet is for those who want and are able to write several days a week, and The Sunday Poet is for those who may only be able to join us once in a while. When you register for either, you get access to a link that will let you in to all of the workshops we offer. You come to the ones that fit your schedule. No need to apologize if you miss a session. No need to tell anyone in advance if you want to attend any particular session. Think of it like a gym-membership for your muse.
Who We Want to Join Us
If you’ve ever felt out of place or unsure where you fit in, welcome home. At The Poetry Salon, we celebrate authenticity, innovation and encouragement—no matter how strange or uncertain you feel. The only thing we ask is that you be interested in growing as an artist, and willing to encourage and support other artists who are learning and growing too.

What Makes Us Different
Founded by Tresha Faye Haefner, an expert in humanistic psychology and creativity, The Poetry Salon offers more than just craft classes and editing workshops—we nurture your personal voice, encourage you to experiment and innovate your style, and grow into your full, most authentic artist-self.
Here’s What We Help You Do:
Overcome Perfectionism & Self-Doubt: Break free from the barriers that hold you back and embrace your creative potential.
Feel Empowered to Find Your Most Unique, Authentic Voice: Whether you're a beginner or experienced poet, we help you recognize your most unique voice, even if it’s not what editors expect.
Learn from Other Authentic Voices: Join a community where you can grow, take risks, and share your work without fear or judgment. Here you can learn from others who are being their authentic selves too.
Learn about Traditional and Experimental Writig Techniques Too: We do all this while also helping artists understand basic craft techniques and how to use them in their own way. This includes specialty workshops that range from reviewing the basic tools of writing to experimenting with surrealist practices and fun new editing “games.”
Experience a space where you can flourish as an artist and member of the writing community
