Utopian Writing: a Generative Seminar — LIVE via ZOOM: 12-2pm (Eastern) on October 20th —
How do we bring creativity to our political imagination and political imagination to the creative process? In this workshop, we will connect with the venerable lineage of visionary writing (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction) that imagines new possibilities and radical hope.
Join me for an afternoon of discussion, generative exercises, and Q&A. There will be opportunities for sharing and meeting other writers, but this is not a workshop and no feedback will be given.
