Intuitive, expert feedback that gets to the heart of what your poems want—and guides you toward stronger, more focused revision.
Maybe you've got poems you've been revising for weeks—maybe months—and you know there’s some good stuff there but you need fresh eyes to help them become what they're meant to be.
Or maybe you’ve put those poems aside for a long time and you’re ready to get back to them and could use some extra direction.
Or maybe you're preparing work for publication or MFA applications—and you need expert guidance to make the poems sing, find what needs more energy, and discover where to push further.
I got you.
I'm Dr. Nadia Alexis—a poet, writer, photographer, and educator with nearly a decade of experience guiding poets and writers to clarity and confidence in their work. My debut hybrid poetry and photography collection Beyond the Watershed (CavanKerry Press, 2025) was longlisted for the Maya Angelou Book Award, and I've spent years teaching creative writing to poets and writers of various levels.
And I’d love to work with you to get your work the next level as you work to meet your writing goals.
I have an intuitive, yet precise approach to understanding the work and being detailed in my feedback. As a multidisciplinary artist, my perspective is fresh with its attention to the line and image.
My goal is for you to walk away with clear edit suggestions, new directions you might explore, questions you can sit with, permission to take more risk, and affirmation of what’s working well.
I’ve worked with poets and writers of from youth to middle age.
