Creation Island
June 26, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
FreeCreation Island is a generative writing salon hosted in Portland, Oregon. Why island? Do you know how islands are formed?? They bubble up from the magma or snap off from other land masses, and they have their own ecosystems and their own rules. We’ve been forming islands for years. We’re all about eruptions and watching the lava flow. We make space for you to write HELP and other messages on the shore, then kick down sandcastles and build new ones. Also, we believe deeply in not being an asshole, to yourself or others.
Creation Island is taught by Nathan Wade Carter and Zulema Renee Summerfield. Click here for more information, or to sign up.
