🌱 Oct 24, 1-4pm, in person: WRITING NATURE AS SOLACE & JUBILATION with Naila Francis & Amy Beth Sisson. In this workshop we will explore writings that treat nature in a myriad of ways. Weather permitting, we will walk the campus to discover nature in the urban setting to use as inspiration or we will provide foraged items to the class as a material prompt. Drawing on poets who use a kaleidoscope of techniques to engage with the natural world, we will begin drafts of our own work.

👥 Nov 14, 1-4pm, in person: WRITING ETHICALLY ABOUT OTHERS with Peter Murphy. What obligation do we have to the heroes, villains and extras who populate our past? We will wrestle with this and other questions as we explore ways to write about our lives fairly, frankly, and without regret.

🔁 Dec 5, 1-4pm, Zoom: SAY THAT AGAIN: REPETITION IN FLASH FICTION with Adam Straus. How do we establish patterns in under 1000 words? And why is it so important to do so? In this generative workshop, we will discuss examples of flash fiction that make good use of repetition (of words, of events, and of images) to create immersive, compelling stories.
