During the month of November, HOCUS is posting a different writing prompt based on a random tarot card draw to our social media every day. We have a copy of Todd Alcott's amazing Pulp Tarot to give away to a lucky participant. During the months of December and January, we will be collecting responses for possible inclusion in our second chapbook. Watch for details or sign up for our newsletter at www.hocus.ink.

What is Ekphrastic writing? Ekphrasis refers to written work that responds to visual art— literally “description” in Greek, it is characterized by description of art, but more broadly can refer to any piece of writing that engages with art on the level of narrative, reflection, image, or associative logic. Writing materials, clipboards, and prompts for generative writing will be provided, beginners welcome. Capacity: 15
In this year-long class, we will explore the practice of creating and sustaining a writer’s notebook. Using prompts both in class and between sessions, each participant will develop and strengthen a notebook practice that works for them. We'll use notebooks to catch the wisps of our lives and our wildest ideas. We will read excerpts of writers' and other artists' notebooks and consider how a notebook is both an artifact in and of itself and mulch for other art--poem, novel, memoir, essay, painting, pasta sauce. At the end of the year, we'll have a reading and an opportunity to display pages from our notebooks. Primer Session: December 10, 2022, 9am - 2pm Pacific Time. / 2023 Sessions: First Saturday of every month, 9am -12pm Pacific Time . . .…
