Description
Welcome to Button University!
Sign up today for Aly Acevedo’s 2026 Multi-Week Workshop!
Aly Acevedo is the author of My Dear Cult Leader
This four-week, fully generative workshop is designed to help you start or continue developing a themed poetry collection in preparation for Button Poetry’s annual chapbook contest.
Each week, participants will write new poems through guided prompts that approach their theme from multiple angles, while also learning how to shape those pieces into a cohesive collection. By the end, you’ll have a strong set of drafts and the beginnings of a chapbook ready for further development and submission.
This is a generative, discussion-based workshop.
Note: No existing work is required—just come with a theme, question, or idea you’d like to explore.
Pick your class time:
Sundays in August
2:00pm CT | August 02 – August 24, 2026
Class Length: 4 weekly sessions
Class Duration: 2 hours via Zoom
