EDITORIAL / TUTORIAL SESSIONS

Richard’s goal in giving detailed feedback about the work is to offer suggestions while preserving the integrity and spirit of the author's work.   

He engages in both line editing as well as addressing more general structural concerns (sequencing, strategic divisions and such).  He suggests readings / artistic engagement (especially that which interacts with other arts, such as music and film) that spur writers on to complete the work or to further engage in their primary concerns.  

Tayson is the winner of the Wick Poetry prize, and a two-time NYFA fellow (2003 and 2014).  His books include THE WORLD UNDERNEATH and THE APPRENTICE OF FEVER, both from Kent State University Press.   His co-authored nonfiction work, LOOK UP FOR YES was published by Viking-Penguin and became a bestseller in Germany.  His poems appear in over 50 publications, including Pushcart Prize:  Best of the Small Presses, Paris Review, Kenyon Review, and Prairie Schooner.  He holds an M.A. in creative writing from NYU and a doctorate in English Literature from CUNY's Graduate Center.  He teaches creative writing at New School University.
