Six Weeks, Six Themes: A Gathering for Generative Writing
Home. Body. Food. Loss. Love. Home, again.
Join us for a six-week generative writing workshop where we will read and write with specific themes in mind and heart. We’ll begin by reading short passages from literature that feature writing on the following: home, the body, loss and love. Zadie Smith, Ben Okri, JoAnn Beard, Laila Lalami, Kiese Laymon, Hala Alyan, Mary Karr and Maya Angelou are just a few of the writers whose work we’ll consider. Then, we will use this material along with writing prompts designed to highlight the week’s topic and we will go to the blank page and write sections of our own. All genres and levels are welcome. This is primarily a generative class with no formal, in class critique process but there will be time to share work within the group as well as schedule one-to-one meetings with instructors, if desired.
Tuesdays: 2/4, 2/11, 2/18, 2/25, 3/11, 3/18 (no class March 4th)
Student reading/spoken word event 3/25 7-9pm - View Photos Here
