Expanding Our Poetic Range through Memory, Place, and the Senses

How, 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.

The Very Short Story: Reading and Writing Fiction of 300 to 1000 Words

In this class we will be reading and discussing a wide variety of very short stories, from  contemporary writers and writers of the past. We will be reading as writers: seeking inspiration, and looking at what these stories are doing and how they achieve their ends. What makes a story a story? What can be left out? What is the effect of omission?
