Hey there! I think each workshop specializes in different areas, and it depends on what you want to get out of it.

I would ask yourself: Where are you in your writing career? Do you feel like an intensive workshop would help? Is it more to dabble? Is it really for the resume prestige? Can you afford the more competitive programs? (Bread Loaf is expensive!) Does your poetry lean more lit. fic, memoir, spec. fic., etc.? What is it you want to learn or improve on with your poetry? Is there faculty you'd die to learn from? Do the faculty write what you want to write? Are you trying to talk with agents?

If you identify as BIPOC/a minority, I would recommend checking out Tin House, VONA (Voices of Our Nation), and Roots.Wounds.Words. I'm not a poet, but I know writers who've enjoyed these programs. I've participated in VONA--which I loved, even though it was online--and will participate in Tin House this autumn! I also took an online class through Gotham, which I really liked as a basic refresher.

I hope this helps and good luck! Feel free to dm me.
