Presented by Lighthouse's Writing in Color program and open to all who would like to attend, this all-genre craft seminar will include a literature survey, highlighting moments when strangeness enters the room, and what it can offer a narrative, as well as in-class generative prompts based on readings. We'll take a look at nonfiction from Daisy Lafarge and Anna Lindsey, the poetry of Anna Swir, the prose-meets-poetry of Anne Carson, and the fiction of Victor Heringer. One of the most valuable modes a writer can be in is a blissful state of porosity. No matter our genre, we’ll open ourselves to the possibilities and tools of other genres to see what we can take away and bring back to our own. This seminar will encourage you toward strangeness, to investigate and play with structure and form.
