Expanding Our Poetic Range through Memory, Place, and the Senses
Atwater Library and Computer Centre 1200 Atwater Avenue, WestmountHow, as writers, can we break the surface of the everyday and go deep? Over the eight sessions of the workshop, we will take some time to dwell in the places our writers’ sensibility can travel to when we tune in to our senses and journey into memory and place. The aim of this workshop will be to generate a rich pool of new material, from which our best work can emerge.

Everything Happens at Once: Your Page One
Atwater Library and Computer Centre 1200 Atwater Avenue, WestmountIn this fiction-writing workshop, we will get our stories to hit the ground running by working on our Page One. Short story or long-form fiction, all the elements of narration are thrown into play right away on the first page (okay, maybe a little on the second). The themes and problems of the piece are all present, stated or suggested, sometimes hidden. We will learn to do that: get out of the starting blocks fast, leaving our anxieties behind.
