Helen Hagemann's Poetry & Prose

Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) said that when writers come to poetry they need to use the resources they have. ‘If we cut ourselves off from these resources we impoverish ourselves. If we think about these resources as a source of power that evokes memory, think for a moment about what they truly are: they are giant clusters of events, knowledge, emotion, relationships, things that pass between the generations with significant and beautiful distinctions, precisely what the writer needs. Any resistance has the quality of fear.’

Helen Hagemann provides a professional service for beginner, intermediate, emerging and developing poets. Participants are urged to check the services and credentials which remains the individual's sole responsibility.
