PSOV is honored to welcome Brattleboro poet Tim Mayo as our Spring Workshop presenter for An Exploration of Voice in Poetry. Voice is a critical element of our craft—yet also one that means vastly different things to different poets and readers. Through demonstration, examples, and discussion, Tim will guide us on a journey to a deeper understanding of voice that will elevate our engagement as poets and poetry readers. In the afternoon, participants will workshop our own poems in small groups facilitated by with Tim and members of the PSOV board.  Registration (including submitting your own poem to be workshopped) opening soon. FREE to members – Join PSOV to Attend!

Tim Mayo holds an ALB from Harvard and an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars. Widely published in journals including The American Journal of Poetry, Barrow Street, and Poet Lore, his most recent book is Muscle Memories of Love and Disaster (Bainbridge Island Press 2026) . A ten-time Pushcart Prize nominee and two-time finalist for the Paumanok Award, Tim Mayo has also received three Vermont Writers Week fellowships at the Vermont Studio Center.

Special Note: The Spring Workshop and Spring Poetry Contest are now separate events. To submit your poem go to the Spring Poetry Contest page.
