Welcome to Poetry Master
7 years & thousands of poems later, 4-book poet Dan Masterson is still anxious to read one of your own poems and comment on it--in detail--FREE OF CHARGE.

Then, if Dan feels he can assist you further, he will invite you to continue working with him on three additional poems. His fee for reading and critiquing those poems will be $39.95. As part of that agreement, he will also comment on a single revision of each of the poems, send you the names of three journal editors he believes might be receptive to your revised work, and help you write a cover letter, if you wish. Additional contracts are available, if you and he agree they would be helpful. Either way, he hopes you'll stay in touch.

Dan suggests you familiarize yourself with his work (a good thing to do before working with any writing coach). Here's what Anne Sexton had to say about one his poems: "'Legacy by Water' surpasses what most of us have done by many a lap. It is an inspiration to me to read a poem so moving, so well plotted, so intensely tactile, and yet always the persona is driven."

You can read that poem, from ON EARTH AS IT IS, in addition to all the poems from his first two volumes by clicking on the CAPA button below. You can also Google his name for many of his current poems available online.

Masterson's volumes of poetry have been widely praised and anthologized. On national tours, he has been involved in more than 1,000 classes, lectures, seminars, workshops, and poetry readings. In 2006, Syracuse University assumed stewardship of "The Dan Masterson Papers," a continuing archival collection of the poet's public and private written matter. For additional commentary on Dan's career, awards, and publications, please visit our "Poet Masterson" page.

Poetry Master's FREE OFFER is good around the clock/around the year, and Dan's turnaround time is impressive. prdan@optonline.net
