Discover New Entry Points into Your Writing

Other Arts and Culture Literature Course

What’s Happening?

Register for this Zoom class here!

Are you struggling to begin a creative piece or has the revision process left you lost on how to move forward? Paying attention to our inner and outer worlds and connecting the two using intuition as a guide can help us work through creative blocks. Using techniques based on the work of author and psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas, we will tune into objects in the outside world to help us dig into deeper parts of ourselves so we can get unstuck and add depth to our writing. In this three-part, open-genre workshop, we will learn how to use not only writerly craft from a variety of genres, including poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, but also our landscape of feeling and thought, memory, and experience to create a more deliberate artistic practice. Students will draft new work and revise existing pieces, using a process that combines intuition and craft.

WORKSHOP DATES: Thursdays, July 18, 25, & Aug 1, 6:30-8:30pm CST, on Zoom

COST: $140; Member: $120; Student/Educator/Mil $75

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE

Reginald Gibbons, Frances Hooper Professor of Arts and Humanities at Northwestern University, is a poet, fiction writer, translator, and literary critic. His books of poems include Last Lake (University of Chicago Press), Creatures of a Day (LSU Press), and Slow Trains Overhead: Chicago Poems and Stories (University of Chicago Press). Three bilingual selections of his poems have been published: in Spanish and English, Desde una barca de papel (2010, Littera Libros [Spain]); in Italian and English, L’Abitino Blu (translated by Piera Mattei, 2012, gattomerlino/superstripes); and in French and English, Je Pas Je (translated by Nathanael, 2014, e-book, recoursaupoeme.com).
