Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To prepare and present one reading and one two-day writing workshop at public library events to enhance Minnesota's literary arts scene. I'll maintain attendance data at each reading and workshop, provide a follow-up survey asking attendees: if the event sparked further interest in poetry as a literary art and I will invite evaluation of my teaching and public reading styles. 2: To write ten new poems for an in-progress manuscript, submit these poems for publication, and finalize the ordering of the poems in the manuscript. I will assess the quality of my individual ten poems based on the editorial feedback I receive from the journals to which I present them. I will also begin submitting my finalized manuscript for publication and assess its quality in the same manner.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I still need to do this. I plan on doing this by end of year. 2: I completed this outcome. I'm grateful that I was able to achieve this outcome.
