SUMMARY:Discover New Entry Points into Your Writing: An Open Genre Workshop with National Book Award Finalist Reginald Gibbons
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, July 18\, 25\, & Aug 1\, 6:30-8:30pm CST\, on Zoom (This class was rescheduled from Thur\, July 11\, 18 & 25)\nInstructor: Reginald Gibbons\nNonmember: $140; Member: $120; Student/Educator/Mil $75 \n*EARN CPE’S\nSCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE. \nClass Full. To add your name to the waitlist\, please email Josh Cantú at joshua@geminiink.org. \nAre you struggling to begin a creative piece or has the revision process left you lost on how to move forward? Paying attention to our inner and outer worlds and connecting the two using our intuition as a guide can help us work through creative blocks. Using techniques based on the work of author and psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas\, we will tune into objects in the outside world to help us dig into deeper parts of ourselves\, so we can get unstuck and add depth to our writing. \nIn this three-part\, open-genre workshop\, we will learn how to use not only writerly craft from a variety of genres\, including poetry\, fiction\, and creative nonfiction but also our landscape of feeling and thought\, memory and experience to create a more deliberate artistic practice. We will examine the works of writers such as Amy Hempel\, Basil Bunting\, Patricia Smith\, Marga Minko\, Kimiko Hahn\, and others. Students will pick which writers resonate most for them and study how intuition and craft informs their work. \nIn the workshop\, everyone will draft new work as well as revise existing pieces\, using a process that brings together intuition and craft in unique ways. Participants will be able to carry this innovative practice into all their work. \nThis class is open to writers of all genres and skill levels. \nStudents will leave this class with:  \n\nAn understanding of the connection between intuition and craft \nTechniques for working through creative blocks\nA draft of new or revised creative work \n\n\nReginald Gibbons\, Frances Hooper Professor of Arts and Humanities at Northwestern University\, is a poet\, fiction writer\, translator\, literary critic.
