Be the Writer You Are: Set Yourself Free with New Approaches to Creative Writing with C.L. “Rooster” Martinez

Literature Poetry Arts & Culture Classes

What’s Happening?

Are you a writer who struggles to find joy in your current writing practice? It’s time to set yourself free! This generative workshop is centered on throwing out everything we have learned about creative writing and, instead, tapping into our intrinsic desire to write and be heard. We’ll question our personal influences and writing processes to define what motivates us, what inspires us, and what our writing goals are. Then, we will generate new work.

WORKSHOP DATE: Saturday, October 19, 2024 10am-1pm CST, in-person at Gemini Ink

COST: Nonmember: $135; Member: $115; Student: $75

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE

C.L. “Rooster” Martinez is an educator, spoken word poet and slam champion from San Antonio, Texas. He earned a MA/MFA in Creative Writing, Literature & Social Justice at Our Lady of the Lake University. He is the author of three poetry books: A Saint for Lost Things (Alabrava Press, 2020); As it is in Heaven (Kissing Dynamite Poetry Press, 2020); and Mexican Dinosaur (WAN, 2023). He co-founded the literary nonprofit Write Art Out Inc.
