Thu, Sep 10Sep 10, 2026, 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.
Sun, Sep 13Sep 13, 2026, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PMZoomIn this 4-week workshop, we will read the work of writers including Arundhati Roy, Chase Twitchell, Ilya Kaminsky, James Baldwin and others that face the world as it is in real time and we will generate new work that faces that same world while applying our singular despair and hope.
Mon, Sep 14Sep 14, 2026, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMZoomIn this fall 6-week class we will read with great appetite and delight. We will engage with multiple histories and ways of knowing. We will dream. Write. Rewrite. We will risk and wreck and rebuild. **Please note this is a new session, added after the April workshop sold out. **
