Intro Creative Writing:
Learn how to begin to say what you mean through writing. No experience necessary! In a small, intimate group, you can learn how to sound as less corny as possible! You’ll learn how to eek, vomit, and choke things out of you and onto the page! You’ll learn how to make the process as painless and as productive as possible, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to let others see what you wrote so you can solidify it even further. Field trips to poetry slams and local Literary Centers will be taken. I’ll introduce and you’ll try: *Poetry *Fiction *Bilingual Writing *(Love?) Letter Writing *Experimental Writing *Journal/Diary Writing *Inventing Words *Creating your own dictionary…and more…
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now. -Goethe

Advanced Poetry Writing:
Designed to broaden our supportive literary networks, stimulate us out of our accustomed writing habits and prompt us into new, inventive modes. For those with some previous training in poetry, an intensive and supportive workshop with a focus on refining your particular voice through formal and inventive elements. Our goal is to create material ready for submission, and ready to be shared at local poetry venues, which we will frequent. Manuscript production and Chapbook design is also integrated into our curriculum. We also explore bilingual writing, try our hand at inventing words, and set up a Love-On-Demand (impromptu poetry) booth on 3rd Street Promenade, where anyone can custom-order a Love Poem, written on location, typed up and ready for pick up in an hour.
I am free to write the worst junk in the world. -Natalie Goldberg.
