Open-level Creative Writing

In these writing groups for women, we engage in some close reading — usually a poem or essay — and use it as a jumping off point for our own personal writing. Write about a place you once traveled to, a cake someone baked for you, an object you brought home from a trip. We then read the work aloud, bear witness to what’s been shared, and offer kind, constructive feedback. These workshops are small, intimate spaces for you to take risks with your writing and for us to read deeply together.

I see these classes as both self-care and collective care, which is especially vital in these isolating times: the deep listening of others' work is just as vital as the attention you pay to your own. I believe that through our time together everyone's writing can become more of what it needs and wants to be, and that each writer can find her voice. I always create an environment of safe risk, and I’d be delighted to play (yes, play!) together.
