Level: All

Instructor: Lyle Rosdahl

Structure in nature weaves beauty and complexity into our world, why not in our writing as well? Come explore how nature, through biomimicry, can inspire not only content and form in short prose writing (flash fiction and cross-genre short prose), but structure. Prepare to stretch your imagination and the limits of your writing. The class will consist of discussion, in-class writing, in-class reading and collaborative creation. We will look at a variety of reading and visual materials both in class and online. Bring your laptop, or some paper and a pen and your insatiable desire for life, nature and writing.

Limit: 12 Participants

Registration Deadline: Friday, July 9

CPE Credits: 6 Language Arts

Fee: $110 Discounted Fee: $99 *
