This generative hybrid poetry/memoir workshop will introduce writers of all levels to new facets of their own most essential stories. Using experimental forms to tap into unfamiliar parts of the creative mind, we’ll spend time each class examining and discussing example texts, writing in response to prompts, and analyzing our own discoveries. The workshop will include resources for self-care while writing difficult material, as well as tips for getting unstuck that will serve writers well after the workshop ends.
