This intensive writing workshop is designed to give writers the time we need to generate new work and to hone in on whatever it is that is begging us to bring it to the page. Guided by prompts and in-class writing assignments, we will dive deep and emerge transformed. With a focus on poetic concision and the power of spontaneity, writers will be encouraged to create on the spot and share it with others for immediate feedback.
