Essay Intensive: Lyric and Personal
January 26, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$385In this eight-week intensive workshop, we will generate writing to prompts, finding our way into some lyric or personal essays. Participants will share drafts for focused feedback on specific craft issues and overall essay structure. The first four weeks will focus on one project, the second four weeks on another. Join this class to produce and workshop two essays and deepen your understanding of the essay form.
I’m a strong believer in writing together and the kind of alchemy that arises when a circle of writers gather to put the pen to paper. In any class with me, you will be doing generative writing in class, and sharing these fresh starts, then wandering off to revise. We will sprinkle seeds and see what grows. – Perrin Kerns
