Revision—Getting Beyond “I Like It” with Judith Pulman
Does the diction in your poem match its
tone? Need help expunging clichés from your memoir? Does the meaning of
your short story show? Discover tools, tricks, and secrets to polish any
piece of writing while learning how to
offer peers supportive, constructive feedback. Literary journals and
other less obvious venues for getting your work out there will be
explored.
Poetry 395924 Mon. 7 - 9 pm May 6 - Jun. 3 $64 [4 classes]
Prose 396734 Fri. 10 am - 12 pm May 17 - Jun. 7 $64 [4 classes]
Writing Your Spiritual Autobiography with Nancy Linnon
Take a weekend to explore indelible
moments—those that connect you to the mysterious, the numinous, and the
un-nameable (or whatever name you use). Use exercises and readings as a
springboard to re-inhabit and record spiritual
experiences, whether dramatic or ordinary. Write your life using a lens
that reveals patterns, meaning, and surprise. All levels.

Reading in the Rain—Performing Your Prose or Poetry with Dan Raphael
Do you wish that you could read your work
with less fear and mumbling, more energy and applause? The words you
write can show you how to say them. Develop strategies for performing
your work, consider ways to use your “outside”
voice, engage the audience, and project in a variety of environments.
Read both poetry and prose, discussing how these formal differences can
affect a performance. Bring a page of someone else’s work, a page or two of your own, and a pencil.
