Our days can be a blur and our workshop focuses on flash fiction, micro essays, and poetry suited to help us distinguish the definition within those blurs.

In our meetings we will consider how writing offers us essential opportunities for reflection. How do writers encourage our reflection? How can writing navigate memory and experience in a manner that is illuminating? How might we use writing, in structure and thought, in our own reflective lives? How might we braid abstract emotion with the images and details of our lives?

Our collaborative nature offers writers a space to be heard and provides an opportunity for us to share ideas and work in a productive and safe environment. Each meeting will present a new batch of readings and set aside time for participants to generate their own material. After the conclusion of the class participants are invited to submit a 3–5-page portfolio and receive feedback from the instructor.

Quite simply, we dedicate our meetings to the wonderful task of reading and writing like writers. We foster one of the most essential elements of the writing and reading life – community. All are welcome.
