Your Life (With Line Breaks)
Dates: April 1-27 (Four weeks)
Format: Online Workshop (Asynchronous, more info)
How many times have you read a poem and thought, “I’ve had an experience like that but I never thought of using it in my writing"? With prompts both playful and probing, in this workshop, we’ll examine your life experiences to explore what obsesses you, delights you, and ultimately what frees you, and how to transform those moments of personal truths so they resonate for the reader.
We’ll study poets, short fiction and creative non-fiction writers such as Matthew Dickman, James Tate, Jo Ann Beard and Lydia Davis: all rule-breakers who will help us push past our own boundaries of experience and form.
Early Bird price ($295) is available through March 15. Regular price ($315) thereafter.
