Sep 27, 2025, 12:30 PM – 4:30 PMZoomWhat do we lose when we write neat, lucid poems about incomprehensible experiences such as mental illness or war? In this 4-hour generative workshop, we will turn to Surrealist poets, feminist Korean poets in translation, Federico García Lorca, Bhanu Kapil, and others for answers.
Sat, Sep 27Sep 27, 2025, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PMZoomIn this workshop, we’ll look at several scenes to analyze the playwrights’ creation of characters through the words spoken by those characters. Then participants in the class will create two characters of their own, using only dialogue to suggest their identities and personalities.

Wed, Sep 03Sep 03, 2025, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMZoomMemoir always examines one person’s life and memories, but it can also open onto history, philosophy, and cultural issues. This six-week workshop will focus on strategies for incorporating research, criticism, and intertextual elements into autobiographical writing.
Thu, Sep 04Sep 04, 2025, 9:30 AM – 11:30 AMZoomWhether writing in a garret, ivory tower, pandemic lockdown or a fever pitch of blind faith, at some point writers need a hothouse workshop environment in which to appraise and develop their work. Participants will test chapters or extracts from their novels and memoirs or short stories and essays.
Sep 08, 2025, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PMZoomThe best plays are created when we excavate our brains and write honestly about the wild things we find there. In this workshop, I will lead you through a series of exercises--list making, free writing, and world building--until you you find yourself writing the play that only you can write.

Sep 25, 2025, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMZoomThe course will combine technique, dissecting craft approaches behind the work of other poets and writers, writing time, and the time to share work. In writing our own ecopoems and climate-driven pieces, breaking genres, we will reimagine our roles in the current climate crisis via creative writing.
