Welcome! Our four-hour virtual poetry/paragraph workshop will focus on writing as a gift – to us, and from us to others. What do we already have in our vast realms of material? What new knowledge has been given to us during these past strange seasons? What have we left untouched for a long time? Where might we find a new treasure in what we thought we knew?
El taller de creación literaria no-ficción se enfocará en la idea del “tiempo”: pasado, presente, y futuro. Los integrantes del taller serán guiados a realizar una serie de escritos que subrayaran discusiones de tiempo, punto de vista, y navegar lo personal o privado al lado de lo público.
A Zoom Nonfiction Workshop with Norma Cantú (in English) Sat, March 27 in English, 10am-3pm…
Join us online for a two-week writing retreat using poetry and short fiction to explore who we are individually and to each other at this unprecedented moment. At a time when our need for connection is at its greatest, we’ll write to heal, as we look at work that channels love, fear and what it means to be human. Experimenting with different forms and exploring unique ways to source new language, you’ll conclude with drafts for several pieces that reflect your experiences of isolation, longing and hope for the future. Aspects of craft will also be discussed throughout the two weeks.
Find the buried treasure in your back yard and the rich writing material in your own life by exploring your own setting, culture, memories, and current experience to find those elements that are most powerful and through which you will be able to pour your passions and your talents to create that poem or short prose piece.
