Place can be a tool for connection, history, freedom, discovery, and even tension. But how do we capture a setting with nuance so that a reader gains understanding and clarity of the world the story/poem lives in? In this three-hour workshop, participants will examine passages that use strong sensory details to bring the texture, mood, geographic and/or aesthetic quirks of a place to life. We will then practice various approaches for generating descriptive language and apply it to our own work. Don’t miss this chance to spend a morning with one of the most intriguing literary voices of our time, who is a ground-breaking voice in the world of eco-writing! This course is open to writers of all genres and skill level, 18+.

In this two-session class, we will explore erasure techniques and apply them to popular Gothic tales to create our own stories or poems. We will delve into erasure masterpieces from Chase Berggrun, Jennifer Tamayo, Francisco Levato, and Nicole Sealey to better understand this increasingly popular technique. We will then apply what we learned to the works of Mary Shelley, Oscar Wilde, Gaston Leroux, or any other Gothic texts students would like to work with. This workshop will include close reading, a generative component, and a feedback session.
Join New Jersey-based playwright Mikaela Simon in this two-session course which will cover the fundamentals of writing a play.

This course will cover structure, format, dialogue, monologues, characters, dramatic action, and theatricality. Participants will explore these elements and use them to create their own short plays and/or scenes.
