About the Offering

Edgework, as defined by one online dictionary, is “behavior at the edge of what is normally allowed or accepted; risky or radical behavior.” Our four weeks together will be spent looking at how the definitive and formative experiences of our lives are often experienced “at the edge” and how we might evoke and translate the exhilarating, sometimes painful, and often transformative power of our personal experiences at the edge into our writing. Through writing experiments and a variety of readings in all genres, we will examine how other writers walk us to and through their own edges, and we will practice writing our own.

Wendy C. Ortiz will also teach a workshop on-site at the Work Center called “Altered States: A Multi-Genre Workshop.” For more information, click here.
