New Aug / Sept Workshop
(shhhh...this one is my favorite...).
JOURNALING
In this five-week workshop we will keep (and share) a daily journal. We will study the composition of the entry and its worth, the strangeness and beauty of raw material, and the relationship between confession and invention. What does it mean to record, plot, or sketch an unfolding day? We will discuss how an entry might grow into an essay, or a poem, or a story. You will leave this workshop bursting with ideas.
Note: entries can be dreams, grocery lists, notes towards a novel, letters to nobody, a list of current events, sobbings, pieces of poems, fictions or chicken scratch. Which is to say, this workshop is a multi-genre workshop. All forms are welcome (poetry, prose, hybrid, memoir, essay, flash, fragment, and everything in between).
This five-week workshop will meet on ZOOM on THURSDAYS August 20, 27 / September 3, 10, 17 from 9:15AM-12:45PM EST.
Weekly reading and writing assignments will guide you. All levels welcome. Workshop is limited to 15 participants.
