If you are curious about what it’s like to take a workshop with Arminé,
please enjoy some reviews from previous attendees of her workshops.

“Arminé Iknadossian is that rare combination—a fine poet AND an exceptional teacher. She fosters the gifts of student-poets at every level of experience and sophistication. Constructive, positive, and articulate, Arminé sets a great tone for each class and offers exceptionally perceptive critiques of work presented in seminar. She's equally good when working on book-length projects. I believe that Arminé is a teacher/coach who will definitely make any aspiring or experienced poet better and more honest.”

—Judith Remy Leder

“I loved the intimacy of the workshops. Arminé made sure the goals for the workshop were to get our writing to the place we wanted it to be for ourselves and our own visions. It was refreshing to be writing for ourselves and not for publication or societal standards often regurgitated within workshops. Writing felt like more of a genuine, artistic act again. The writing exercises provided by both Arthur and Arminé were fun and new and helped me generate a lot of content that I was ultimately able to place within larger projects.”

“I sent Armine a passel of poetry, and we had a series of truly productive and creative sessions. Both I and my poems are better for it.”
