Read about the lessons Alexis Paulie Gumbs draws from the life and extinction of sea mammal Hydromalis gigas. We will read an excerpt from Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons From Marine Mammals, discuss the lessons we learn from it and write a letter honoring the sea mammal that could hear for miles and miles.
We’ve looked at words, we’ve looked at structure, but what about the experiences and ideas that truly make us ourselves? In this session, participants will go through a guided set of prompts to find and articulate poems unique to them.
The Hermit Crab Approach: What if your most challenging stories could hide inside a shell? Explore using letters, playlists, instruction manuals, and other unexpected forms to tell stories about identity, culture, memory, and your sometimes painful experiences.
Everyone has a story inside them, whether they know it or not. During our last session of Micro Magic, participants learn how to draw from their own lives and write moving autobiographical material in less than 5,000 words. Join us for an evening of Micro-Memoir, and get a chance to submit your own to be published!
In this studio, we’re going to discuss the bane of so many writers: the info dump. We’ll talk about how to keep worldbuilding and character backstory rich without bogging down our drafts, and we’ll learn revision techniques to control the flow of information without confusing our readers or destroying our pace.
