Poetry – April 9 @ 6:00-8:00pm
This free and intentionally kind creative writing session is for absolute beginners and those who’d like a refresher. We’ll define some terms (e.g., figurative language, concrete language, line break, stanza, free verse, blank verse) and read examples of each. Next, we’ll try our hands through prompts and exercises to create our own original works-in-progress.

Funny Stuff – April 16 @ 6:00-8:00pm
A frequent criticism of “serious” literature is that it is often humorless, with a narrow emotional range that begins with ennui and ends in despair. If you want to write with a broad emotional range, this session is for you. We’ll read story excerpts that ably mix comedy with heartbreak, and absurdity with terror, as we work towards convincingly adding humor to our own writing.

Nature Writing – April 23 @ 6:00-8:00pm
Nature writing can take the form of prose or verse, with themes of place (Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez), culture (Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer), and adventure (Lost in the Wild by Cary J. Griffith), among many others. Through examples and exercises, we will try our hands at making the natural world come alive on the page.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
