Master Class in Prose

This class will be a mediated conversation between writers trying to develop and finish long prose projects: novels, novellas, memoirs, long essays, collections of short stories and essays, and things that perhaps are hard to explain. We’ll read stories and novel excerpts to see how specific problems of style, structure and development have been tackled by different writers. For example, any writer trying to manipulate scene and explication can find methods in the first chapter of Joseph Roth’s “The Radetzky March”; and a writer troubled by memory will find important techniques in Sigrid Nunez’s “For Rouenna.” Such readings will lead to exercises of new writing and revision of works-in-progress. Disciplined revision is essential to refining and finishing a manuscript; the instructor will hold two individual conferences with each participant.

Master Class in Poetry

The aim of this workshop will be to help students, regardless of age or previous experience, to work toward writing the best poems they can write. The instructor will offer examples from the poetry of the past and present and will ask students to bring some examples from their own reading, but the main work will be criticizing the students’ own poems. The workshop will reinforce the connections among sound, rhythm and meaning by the close reading of the students’ own work and by examples offered by the instructor and the students from their outside reading. The instructor will suggest, explain and demonstrate methods of creating, organizing and self-criticizing that should help the students work toward the best poems they can write.

One-Day and Two-Day Classes


Hungry for Words

Learn the basics of food writing, including restaurant reviews, stories for newspapers and blogs, food memoirs and recipe crafting. Since nobody works well on an empty stomach, day one will include lunch—a cooking demonstration that starts to explain the process of recipe development. Day two we’ll eat out, then write a restaurant review. Participants will leave the weekend armed with a basic understanding of the rigors and versatility of food writing, along with plenty of handouts and, if still hungry, lots of suggestions for further reading. An advance reading assignment will be e-mailed to all participants.

Self-Promotion for the Chronically Humble Writer

So, you’ve had your work published in a handful of magazines and done a reading or two. How can you take your writing career to the next level? Find out in this two-day marketing blitz. The first day you’ll set goals, learn real-world time-management skills and write a bio, artist statement and Web copy that celebrate your strengths. On the second day, you’ll work on a query letter to an agent or editor, then write your way to the grant, conference or residency of your dreams. Look forward to lots of examples, extensive resource lists and quite a bit of homework between the first and second sessions.

Getting into Character

Whether you’re writing fiction or memoir, characters are what make your stories live and breathe. In this seminar, you’ll learn how best to bring characters to life, whether you’re creating them for a short story or novel, or whether you’re portraying real characters in a memoir. We’ll look at classic and contemporary examples of good characterization and discuss how character relates to other aspects of story, such as dialogue, setting and plot. We’ll spend time on writing exercises designed to flesh out your characters, both on and off the page, so you’ll be fully in character by the seminar’s end.

Community Composting

Bring those unused images, lines of prose or poetry, titles, characters and story ideas that you have been holding onto for too long and transform them into fertilizer that can nourish new writing. By chopping up your cherished scraps and mixing them with those of others, you not only benefit from the juxtaposition of your ideas with your neighbor’s but also from seeing your neighbors revitalize your ideas. Our composting tools for this class will include solo and ensemble writing exercises that focus on re-envisioning existing material.

Sexing the Simile: Creating Alluring Figures of Speech

A picture may be worth 1000 words, but how to create alluring figures of speech—simile, metaphor, and images—as we write? How can we turn our imaginations loose, making our diction so organic, our images so deep, our figures of speech so ample, that we strip our tropes to the essence? How to make readers, especially editors, wake up and take notice, turn our image-makers into money-makers? In this workshop we will read poems and narratives that contain vivid and graphic figures of speech, and practice writing our own alluring pictures in words.

Ekphrastic Writing

From frescoes to graphic novels, artists have made pictures inspired by words and writers have been inspired by visual art. Plato described what happens when a writer writes creatively as Ekphrasis. In this class we will explore historic relationships between verbal and visual imagery, look at how writers have learned from visual art and make our own work inspired by and incorporating visual art. Class will meet twice at Hugo House (April 18-19 class sessions) and once at the Frye Art Museum (April 23 class session). Suitable for writers of all genres. Handouts provided in class. NB: Students are invited to attend a reading and launch party at the Frye for “Looking Together: Writers on Art,” co-edited by Rebecca Brown and Mary Jane Knecht on Thursday, March 12, 7 p.m. Students who enroll in this class can purchase “Looking Together’ for a 10% discount at the Frye Museum store.

From the Beginning

Editors will tell you that if the opening of a story or novel doesn’t grab them in the first two pages, they stop reading. But is where you start the same as where your story begins? In this workshop we’ll come at openings from multiple directions, including notions of character complexity and the story’s critical voice. We’ll look at the openings of successful published stories and novels in both mainstream and genre fiction before moving on to troublesome middles and endings. Expect exercises and even bad examples. If you have frustrating stories or novels in progress bring along the openings for examination.

Mavis Gallant Retrospective

Mavis Gallant, one of the great short story writers, moved to Paris in 1950 to make it as a writer. A Canadian ex-pat, she still lives and writes in Paris. In this class, we’ll look closely at the writer and her work and study the short story form. We’ll also write Gallant-inspired fiction and read stories from different decades of her collected works. You’ll receive a reading packet to read from, before and between sessions. In the first session, we’ll watch “Paris Stories: The Writing of Mavis Gallant.”

The Greatest Marketing Tool of All

Don’t risk meeting an agent, publisher, bookseller, or future reader and have an unprepared answer or, worse, the wrong description of your project. You will leave the workshop with a well honed, ever useful, 30-second pitch—one that can be expanded after you have captured the audience’s attention. The instructor has 30 years’ experience verbally “pitching” books. She shares what works, what doesn’t and why. Pre-class assignment: Following guidelines received upon registration, write and memorize a 30-second verbal pitch for your book.

Research for Writers

Research is an important part of the creative process for writers of fiction and nonfiction. Research can help with inspiration, storytelling and world building whether you are writing about the past, present or future, about life on earth or an imaginary world. The instructor will share advice about research, discuss the kinds of research writers may need to do and help students find useful sources of information in print, on the Web, in libraries and in unexpected places.

The Mind’s Eye: Become a Visual Writer

Every writer has been admonished: “show, don’t tell,” so in this two-part class we’ll be taking a step-by-step approach toward infusing our written work with the essential techniques of visual storytelling. Using methods from masters such as Alfred Hitchcock and Carl Jung, we’ll develop writing that projects up off the page and into the deepest parts of the reader’s mind.

Freedom through Form

Is form in poetry dead, passé? Has everything that can be said in form been said? Do poets know how to write in form, do they have the discipline to craft their work using poetic forms? A poet’s job is to be aware of and be able to use all the tools of the trade. We will focus on writing in a variety of poetic forms, including the sonnet, ballad, Celtic forms and villanelle, with examples from Chaucer and Shakespeare to the present, including works in translation, to read aloud and discuss. We will then write our own poetry in these forms and read it aloud. The end of the course will include a performance night.

Looking for the Hook

A hook is an idea or image that acts as a portal into a story and captures the reader’s attention. It could be a powerful or provocative first sentence, a compelling character, narrator or setting. The hook also sets the tone and pace of a story, giving the reader an expectation of what is to come. In this workshop, we’ll explore ways to find the right hook to jump-start a story. We will analyze hooks used in children’s literature past and present, and through several writing exercises, try our hand at coming up with hooks to begin new stories. Please bring an example to class of what you think is a good hook from a favorite book in any genre.

Choosing the Voice: A Workshop in Point of View

When people begin writing a story or novel, they haggle over all kinds of things in their minds: the plot, the setting, the tone, the characters. When it comes to point of view, however, they often make their choice intuitively, without giving much thought to the possibilities. Yet point of view controls every aspect of perception and evocation in any story, and if you screw it up, it’s like trying to play golf with a hairdryer, or a howitzer. In this workshop we will examine the varying effects of point of view, experiment with possibilities and discover the multiple connections between point of view, character and voice.

The Personal Mythology of Organic Poetry

Who are you now and who are you becoming? To what do you train your attention? Organic Poetry is one way to describe the process of training your ear to capture the chaotic energy of the moment, to make composition an occasion of experience. This workshop for serious writers of all levels includes lively discussions and sound from interviews with poets such as Michael McClure, Eileen Myles, Jerome Rothenberg, Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman. Through a series of intensifying creative writing exercises, students will develop an understanding of their personal mythology and write at that deeper level of consciousness.

Wrighting Words for the Out-Loud World

All playwrights are poets to some degree, if for no other reason than that once words are spoken, they take on their own music. In this class we will explore the history of puzzling text together with the intention of having it heard instead of read. We’ll review some actorish tricks and plow out loud through poems from “Beowulf” to “Song of Myself,” exploring ways to maximize their rhythmic and tonal payoff. We’ll analyze various playwrights’ use and abuse of verse, from Shakespeare through Molière to Mamet and Ruhl. Finally we’ll craft our own poems and plays, calling them out to each other to find where they fail versus where they prevail upon our collective hearts’ eardrum.

Revision as Epic

We will explore revision from the inside out beginning with a single poem. Using questions such as “How does this piece work?” and “If it is not succeeding, why not?” colleagues will embark on a journey of exploration into their own writing process. Students will also use in-depth revision strategies supplied by the instructor. Variants of the first poem will be workshopped. The finished work will consist of one long poem, its parts sequential versions of the original; it will be like walking around a house and peering in different windows to explore each room. Please bring 10 copies of an original poem to the first class.

Chapbooks: Tuning the Cycle

Chapbooks have evolved beyond being a collection of single poems to being a gathering of poems that, in concert, create a unified expression. In this class, each participant’s chapbook (6-20 poems) will be critiqued as a way of exploring what makes chapbooks effective as poem cycles. Participants’ chapbooks will also be reviewed for selection, order and length. Unwritten poems will be suggested, and some written poems set aside. We will survey Northwest-produced chapbooks looking at layout, cover art, typeface, paper and binding.

Braiding Your Art into a Whole

Merging your fragments (essays or poems) into a cohesive whole is one of the most difficult and most creative stages in a work of art. Students will bring their raw material—separate essays, loose conglomerates of memoir, lumpy bumbles of travel— and will find subconscious strands, golden threads to braid together.

Prose


Master Class in Prose

This class will be a mediated conversation between writers trying to develop and finish long prose projects: novels, novellas, memoirs, long essays, collections of short stories and essays, and things that perhaps are hard to explain. We’ll read stories and novel excerpts to see how specific problems of style, structure and development have been tackled by different writers. For example, any writer trying to manipulate scene and explication can find methods in the first chapter of Joseph Roth’s “The Radetzky March”; and a writer troubled by memory will find important techniques in Sigrid Nunez’s “For Rouenna.” Such readings will lead to exercises of new writing and revision of works-in-progress. Disciplined revision is essential to refining and finishing a manuscript; the instructor will hold two individual conferences with each participant.

The Working Memoir

In this workshop we will look at writers who publish memoirs about their work—Sue Hubbell details her beekeeping job, Thomas Lynch describes being an undertaker, Kathleen Norris struggles with her faith and the church. These and other authors will inspire us to write our own work narratives. We’ll dig into careers, day jobs, volunteer efforts, avocations and other occupations. Whether it’s a 9-to-5 job or cooking dinner for family each night, we’ll explore the nature of work and the impact it has on our lives.

Rooms: Releasing the Memoir

Do you have a memoir in hiding, aching to be written, but can’t coax it out? Don’t even know where to begin? In this class we will approach memory and story in the context of place, tricking our memories onto the page. Our classes will be used to discuss each other’s work along with the work of great memoirists such as Jill Ker Conway, Annie Dillard and Toni Morrison, as they recall the triumphs and tribulations of writing a memoir.

Invisible Ink

Invisible ink is the writing below the surface of the words. This class teaches you to observe and apply the hidden structural elements found in classic films and stories by Dickens, Steinbeck, Billy Wilder and others. For writers of fiction, this workshop is to the writer what an anatomy class is for the illustrator.

Pillaging Genre: Putting the Hip and Sensational Into Literature

Ever felt dusty and hopeless in the face of the colorful burgeoning of genre fiction? In a marketplace where crime thrillers and sexy vampire dramas seem to be the only hot fictional items, we’ve got a choice: cross over entirely or adapt some elements of these genres to our own purposes. We’ll dig into a few models of thriller and young adult works that successfully preserve literary tradition while keeping the masses turning the page. We’ll write and workshop pieces of our own novels with the aim of making them more hotcake and less Cornish game hen. We’ll try to figure out how to sell without selling out.

Mine: An Exploration of Autobiographical Storytelling

Autobiography offers a writer the rare experience of complete authority, the chance to tell a story no one knows better. The instructor will lead writers through the basics of first-person storytelling, introducing a step-by-step process of getting autobiographical stories down on paper. In addition to writing and brainstorming exercises, classes will include close readings of classic autobiographical essays and, most importantly, students’ readings of their own work. The goal of the course: Each student’s completion of an autobiographical essay, from conception and investigation to close, focused revision.

Making Your Stories Sing (Spring 2009)

You have a story, or perhaps many stories. Yet despite your best efforts your language still feels stale or flat in places, or perhaps contrived or too long-winded. In this class we will focus on language, including studying and “trying on” language borrowed from an array of brilliant authors and poets, their rhythms, syntax, sentence structures, and more. All with the aim of expanding and revitalizing language usage, in the service of your story, learning to truly hear the sounds of words on the page as you pen your way to amazing sentences, astounding paragraphs and invigorating word choices.

es•say 1. An attempt; endeavor. To stay true to the intentions of the form, the essayist must take risks, including experimenting with new techniques, modes and approaches. We’ll play around with the list, the micro-essay, the disjunctive essay, the lyric essay, the prose poem. We’ll explore notions of storytelling, character development, narrative seduction and dramatic movement as they play out in personal essays. We’ll read other writers’ experiments and try our own.

Deep Revision (Spring 2009)

For writers who have already produced a rough draft, this class offers the opportunity to revise and polish a complete essay or memoir. We’ll begin with an overview, examining themes and structure, then tighten our focus to look at the dynamics of each scene, the shape of each paragraph and the efficacy of each sentence. We’ll discuss publication strategies so writers are ready to pitch their work at summer conferences. The goal is to have an essay or book proposal ready to submit.

Braiding Your Art into a Whole

Merging your fragments (essays or poems) into a cohesive whole is one of the most difficult and most creative stages in a work of art. Students will bring their raw material—separate essays, loose conglomerates of memoir, lumpy bumbles of travel— and will find subconscious strands, golden threads to braid together.

Getting into Character

Whether you’re writing fiction or memoir, characters are what make your stories live and breathe. In this seminar, you’ll learn how best to bring characters to life, whether you’re creating them for a short story or novel, or whether you’re portraying real characters in a memoir. We’ll look at classic and contemporary examples of good characterization and discuss how character relates to other aspects of story, such as dialogue, setting and plot. We’ll spend time on writing exercises designed to flesh out your characters, both on and off the page, so you’ll be fully in character by the seminar’s end.

The essayist’s mind and heart form a reflecting pool in which we behold, suspended, a likeness of the world—unless perhaps the writer and the world are two mirrors hung in opposition, each giving back its own highly idiosyncratic image of the other. In this reading and writing course, we’ll be listening in on first person writings by Annie Dillard, Loren Eiseley, and others, as well as conceiving and developing reflective pieces of our own. The writing emphasis in this workshop is on new work, and leads and exercises designed to produce germinal ideas will be provided.

Community Composting

Bring those unused images, lines of prose or poetry, titles, characters and story ideas that you have been holding onto for too long and transform them into fertilizer that can nourish new writing. By chopping up your cherished scraps and mixing them with those of others, you not only benefit from the juxtaposition of your ideas with your neighbor’s but also from seeing your neighbors revitalize your ideas. Our composting tools for this class will include solo and ensemble writing exercises that focus on re-envisioning existing material.

Sexing the Simile: Creating Alluring Figures of Speech

A picture may be worth 1000 words, but how to create alluring figures of speech—simile, metaphor, and images—as we write? How can we turn our imaginations loose, making our diction so organic, our images so deep, our figures of speech so ample, that we strip our tropes to the essence? How to make readers, especially editors, wake up and take notice, turn our image-makers into money-makers? In this workshop we will read poems and narratives that contain vivid and graphic figures of speech, and practice writing our own alluring pictures in words.

From the Beginning

Editors will tell you that if the opening of a story or novel doesn’t grab them in the first two pages, they stop reading. But is where you start the same as where your story begins? In this workshop we’ll come at openings from multiple directions, including notions of character complexity and the story’s critical voice. We’ll look at the openings of successful published stories and novels in both mainstream and genre fiction before moving on to troublesome middles and endings. Expect exercises and even bad examples. If you have frustrating stories or novels in progress bring along the openings for examination.

Mavis Gallant Retrospective

Mavis Gallant, one of the great short story writers, moved to Paris in 1950 to make it as a writer. A Canadian ex-pat, she still lives and writes in Paris. In this class, we’ll look closely at the writer and her work and study the short story form. We’ll also write Gallant-inspired fiction and read stories from different decades of her collected works. You’ll receive a reading packet to read from, before and between sessions. In the first session, we’ll watch “Paris Stories: The Writing of Mavis Gallant.”

The Mind’s Eye: Become a Visual Writer

Every writer has been admonished: “show, don’t tell,” so in this two-part class we’ll be taking a step-by-step approach toward infusing our written work with the essential techniques of visual storytelling. Using methods from masters such as Alfred Hitchcock and Carl Jung, we’ll develop writing that projects up off the page and into the deepest parts of the reader’s mind.

Looking for the Hook

A hook is an idea or image that acts as a portal into a story and captures the reader’s attention. It could be a powerful or provocative first sentence, a compelling character, narrator or setting. The hook also sets the tone and pace of a story, giving the reader an expectation of what is to come. In this workshop, we’ll explore ways to find the right hook to jump-start a story. We will analyze hooks used in children’s literature past and present, and through several writing exercises, try our hand at coming up with hooks to begin new stories. Please bring an example to class of what you think is a good hook from a favorite book in any genre.

Choosing the Voice: A Workshop in Point of View

When people begin writing a story or novel, they haggle over all kinds of things in their minds: the plot, the setting, the tone, the characters. When it comes to point of view, however, they often make their choice intuitively, without giving much thought to the possibilities. Yet point of view controls every aspect of perception and evocation in any story, and if you screw it up, it’s like trying to play golf with a hairdryer, or a howitzer. In this workshop we will examine the varying effects of point of view, experiment with possibilities and discover the multiple connections between point of view, character and voice.

Reading Classes


Theory of Tragedy (A Reading Class)

Early 19th-century German philosopher George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel defined tragedy as a clash between two or more legitimate, substantive powers in a society. The demise of the tragic hero, in other words, results not from making bad decisions but from the inadequacy of the reigning ethical principles of the time. In this class, we will read a handful of canonical tragedies alongside excerpts of tragic theory from Aristotle and Hegel to arrive at an understanding of how the genre has evolved, particularly in modern times. Readings will include Sophocles’ “Antigone,” Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” and David Mamet’s “Oleanna.”

Six Week Classes


The Working Memoir

In this workshop we will look at writers who publish memoirs about their work—Sue Hubbell details her beekeeping job, Thomas Lynch describes being an undertaker, Kathleen Norris struggles with her faith and the church. These and other authors will inspire us to write our own work narratives. We’ll dig into careers, day jobs, volunteer efforts, avocations and other occupations. Whether it’s a 9-to-5 job or cooking dinner for family each night, we’ll explore the nature of work and the impact it has on our lives.

The Personal Mythology of Organic Poetry

Who are you now and who are you becoming? To what do you train your attention? Organic Poetry is one way to describe the process of training your ear to capture the chaotic energy of the moment, to make composition an occasion of experience. This workshop for serious writers of all levels includes lively discussions and sound from interviews with poets such as Michael McClure, Eileen Myles, Jerome Rothenberg, Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman. Through a series of intensifying creative writing exercises, students will develop an understanding of their personal mythology and write at that deeper level of consciousness.

Do you have a memoir in hiding, aching to be written, but can’t coax it out? Don’t even know where to begin? In this class we will approach memory and story in the context of place, tricking our memories onto the page. Our classes will be used to discuss each other’s work along with the work of great memoirists such as Jill Ker Conway, Annie Dillard and Toni Morrison, as they recall the triumphs and tribulations of writing a memoir. Required text: William Zinsser’s “Inventing the Truth: The Art and Craft of Memoir.”

Wrighting Words for the Out-Loud World

All playwrights are poets to some degree, if for no other reason than that once words are spoken, they take on their own music. In this class we will explore the history of puzzling text together with the intention of having it heard instead of read. We’ll review some actorish tricks and plow out loud through poems from “Beowulf” to “Song of Myself,” exploring ways to maximize their rhythmic and tonal payoff. We’ll analyze various playwrights’ use and abuse of verse, from Shakespeare through Molière to Mamet and Ruhl. Finally we’ll craft our own poems and plays, calling them out to each other to find where they fail versus where they prevail upon our collective hearts’ eardrum.

Finding Other Forms

Writing fiction in the form of letters or diary entries is nothing new, but these variations on traditional structure only hint at the unconventional forms that can be used in a story. Form alone is only a part of a work; this class will play with the possibilities of writing fiction disguised as lists, e-mails, recipes, questionnaires, reference books, resumes (ad infinitum). We’ll write our own pieces using unexpected shapes and read work that pushes the boundaries of form from (among others) McSweeney’s, Samuel R. Delany, Angela Carter and Rebecca Brown.

Revision as Epic

We will explore revision from the inside out beginning with a single poem. Using questions such as “How does this piece work?” and “If it is not succeeding, why not?” colleagues will embark on a journey of exploration into their own writing process. Students will also use in-depth revision strategies supplied by the instructor. Variants of the first poem will be workshopped. The finished work will consist of one long poem, its parts sequential versions of the original; it will be like walking around a house and peering in different windows to explore each room. Please bring 10 copies of an original poem to the first class.

Chapbooks: Tuning the Cycle

Chapbooks have evolved beyond being a collection of single poems to being a gathering of poems that, in concert, create a unified expression. In this class, each participant’s chapbook (6-20 poems) will be critiqued as a way of exploring what makes chapbooks effective as poem cycles. Participants’ chapbooks will also be reviewed for selection, order and length. Unwritten poems will be suggested, and some written poems set aside. We will survey Northwest-produced chapbooks looking at layout, cover art, typeface, paper and binding.

You have a story, or perhaps many stories. Yet despite your best efforts your language still feels stale or flat in places, or perhaps contrived or too long-winded. In this class we will focus on language, including studying and “trying on” language borrowed from an array of brilliant authors and poets, their rhythms, syntax, sentence structures, and more. All with the aim of expanding and revitalizing language usage, in the service of your story, learning to truly hear the sounds of words on the page as you pen your way to amazing sentences, astounding paragraphs and invigorating word choices.

Deep Revision (Spring 2009)

For writers who have already produced a rough draft, this class offers the opportunity to revise and polish a complete essay or memoir. We’ll begin with an overview, examining themes and structure, then tighten our focus to look at the dynamics of each scene, the shape of each paragraph and the efficacy of each sentence. We’ll discuss publication strategies so writers are ready to pitch their work at summer conferences. The goal is to have an essay or book proposal ready to submit.

Writing Classes


Master Class in Prose

This class will be a mediated conversation between writers trying to develop and finish long prose projects: novels, novellas, memoirs, long essays, collections of short stories and essays, and things that perhaps are hard to explain. We’ll read stories and novel excerpts to see how specific problems of style, structure and development have been tackled by different writers. For example, any writer trying to manipulate scene and explication can find methods in the first chapter of Joseph Roth’s “The Radetzky March”; and a writer troubled by memory will find important techniques in Sigrid Nunez’s “For Rouenna.” Such readings will lead to exercises of new writing and revision of works-in-progress. Disciplined revision is essential to refining and finishing a manuscript; the instructor will hold two individual conferences with each participant.

Master Class in Poetry

The aim of this workshop will be to help students, regardless of age or previous experience, to work toward writing the best poems they can write. The instructor will offer examples from the poetry of the past and present and will ask students to bring some examples from their own reading, but the main work will be criticizing the students’ own poems. The workshop will reinforce the connections among sound, rhythm and meaning by the close reading of the students’ own work and by examples offered by the instructor and the students from their outside reading. The instructor will suggest, explain and demonstrate methods of creating, organizing and self-criticizing that should help the students work toward the best poems they can write.

Hungry for Words

Learn the basics of food writing, including restaurant reviews, stories for newspapers and blogs, food memoirs and recipe crafting. Since nobody works well on an empty stomach, day one will include lunch—a cooking demonstration that starts to explain the process of recipe development. Day two we’ll eat out, then write a restaurant review. Participants will leave the weekend armed with a basic understanding of the rigors and versatility of food writing, along with plenty of handouts and, if still hungry, lots of suggestions for further reading. An advance reading assignment will be e-mailed to all participants.

The Working Memoir

In this workshop we will look at writers who publish memoirs about their work—Sue Hubbell details her beekeeping job, Thomas Lynch describes being an undertaker, Kathleen Norris struggles with her faith and the church. These and other authors will inspire us to write our own work narratives. We’ll dig into careers, day jobs, volunteer efforts, avocations and other occupations. Whether it’s a 9-to-5 job or cooking dinner for family each night, we’ll explore the nature of work and the impact it has on our lives.

The Personal Mythology of Organic Poetry

Who are you now and who are you becoming? To what do you train your attention? Organic Poetry is one way to describe the process of training your ear to capture the chaotic energy of the moment, to make composition an occasion of experience. This workshop for serious writers of all levels includes lively discussions and sound from interviews with poets such as Michael McClure, Eileen Myles, Jerome Rothenberg, Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman. Through a series of intensifying creative writing exercises, students will develop an understanding of their personal mythology and write at that deeper level of consciousness.

Rooms: Releasing the Memoir

Do you have a memoir in hiding, aching to be written, but can’t coax it out? Don’t even know where to begin? In this class we will approach memory and story in the context of place, tricking our memories onto the page. Our classes will be used to discuss each other’s work along with the work of great memoirists such as Jill Ker Conway, Annie Dillard and Toni Morrison, as they recall the triumphs and tribulations of writing a memoir. Required text: William Zinsser’s “Inventing the Truth: The Art and Craft of Memoir.”

Invisible Ink

Invisible ink is the writing below the surface of the words. This class teaches you to observe and apply the hidden structural elements found in classic films and stories by Dickens, Steinbeck, Billy Wilder and others. For writers of fiction, this workshop is to the writer what an anatomy class is for the illustrator.

Wrighting Words for the Out-Loud World

All playwrights are poets to some degree, if for no other reason than that once words are spoken, they take on their own music. In this class we will explore the history of puzzling text together with the intention of having it heard instead of read. We’ll review some actorish tricks and plow out loud through poems from “Beowulf” to “Song of Myself,” exploring ways to maximize their rhythmic and tonal payoff. We’ll analyze various playwrights’ use and abuse of verse, from Shakespeare through Molière to Mamet and Ruhl. Finally we’ll craft our own poems and plays, calling them out to each other to find where they fail versus where they prevail upon our collective hearts’ eardrum.

Pillaging Genre: Putting the Hip and Sensational Into Literature

Ever felt dusty and hopeless in the face of the colorful burgeoning of genre fiction? In a marketplace where crime thrillers and sexy vampire dramas seem to be the only hot fictional items, we’ve got a choice: cross over entirely or adapt some elements of these genres to our own purposes. We’ll dig into a few models of thriller and young adult works that successfully preserve literary tradition while keeping the masses turning the page. We’ll write and workshop pieces of our own novels with the aim of making them more hotcake and less Cornish game hen. We’ll try to figure out how to sell without selling out.

Mine: An Exploration of Autobiographical Storytelling

Autobiography offers a writer the rare experience of complete authority, the chance to tell a story no one knows better. The instructor will lead writers through the basics of first-person storytelling, introducing a step-by-step process of getting autobiographical stories down on paper. In addition to writing and brainstorming exercises, classes will include close readings of classic autobiographical essays and, most importantly, students’ readings of their own work. The goal of the course: Each student’s completion of an autobiographical essay, from conception and investigation to close, focused revision.

Finding Other Forms

Writing fiction in the form of letters or diary entries is nothing new, but these variations on traditional structure only hint at the unconventional forms that can be used in a story. Form alone is only a part of a work; this class will play with the possibilities of writing fiction disguised as lists, e-mails, recipes, questionnaires, reference books, resumes (ad infinitum). We’ll write our own pieces using unexpected shapes and read work that pushes the boundaries of form from (among others) McSweeney’s, Samuel R. Delany, Angela Carter and Rebecca Brown.

Revision as Epic

We will explore revision from the inside out beginning with a single poem. Using questions such as “How does this piece work?” and “If it is not succeeding, why not?” colleagues will embark on a journey of exploration into their own writing process. Students will also use in-depth revision strategies supplied by the instructor. Variants of the first poem will be workshopped. The finished work will consist of one long poem, its parts sequential versions of the original; it will be like walking around a house and peering in different windows to explore each room. Please bring 10 copies of an original poem to the first class.

Giving the Essay a Try

es•say 1. An attempt; endeavor. To stay true to the intentions of the form, the essayist must take risks, including experimenting with new techniques, modes and approaches. We’ll play around with the list, the micro-essay, the disjunctive essay, the lyric essay, the prose poem. We’ll explore notions of storytelling, character development, narrative seduction and dramatic movement as they play out in personal essays. We’ll read other writers’ experiments and try our own.

Chapbooks: Tuning the Cycle

Chapbooks have evolved beyond being a collection of single poems to being a gathering of poems that, in concert, create a unified expression. In this class, each participant’s chapbook (6-20 poems) will be critiqued as a way of exploring what makes chapbooks effective as poem cycles. Participants’ chapbooks will also be reviewed for selection, order and length. Unwritten poems will be suggested, and some written poems set aside. We will survey Northwest-produced chapbooks looking at layout, cover art, typeface, paper and binding.

Braiding Your Art into a Whole

Merging your fragments (essays or poems) into a cohesive whole is one of the most difficult and most creative stages in a work of art. Students will bring their raw material—separate essays, loose conglomerates of memoir, lumpy bumbles of travel— and will find subconscious strands, golden threads to braid together.

Getting into Character

Whether you’re writing fiction or memoir, characters are what make your stories live and breathe. In this seminar, you’ll learn how best to bring characters to life, whether you’re creating them for a short story or novel, or whether you’re portraying real characters in a memoir. We’ll look at classic and contemporary examples of good characterization and discuss how character relates to other aspects of story, such as dialogue, setting and plot. We’ll spend time on writing exercises designed to flesh out your characters, both on and off the page, so you’ll be fully in character by the seminar’s end.

First Person Singular

The essayist’s mind and heart form a reflecting pool in which we behold, suspended, a likeness of the world—unless perhaps the writer and the world are two mirrors hung in opposition, each giving back its own highly idiosyncratic image of the other. In this reading and writing course, we’ll be listening in on first person writings by Annie Dillard, Loren Eiseley, and others, as well as conceiving and developing reflective pieces of our own. The writing emphasis in this workshop is on new work, and leads and exercises designed to produce germinal ideas will be provided.

Community Composting

Bring those unused images, lines of prose or poetry, titles, characters and story ideas that you have been holding onto for too long and transform them into fertilizer that can nourish new writing. By chopping up your cherished scraps and mixing them with those of others, you not only benefit from the juxtaposition of your ideas with your neighbor’s but also from seeing your neighbors revitalize your ideas. Our composting tools for this class will include solo and ensemble writing exercises that focus on re-envisioning existing material.

Sexing the Simile: Creating Alluring Figures of Speech

A picture may be worth 1000 words, but how to create alluring figures of speech—simile, metaphor, and images—as we write? How can we turn our imaginations loose, making our diction so organic, our images so deep, our figures of speech so ample, that we strip our tropes to the essence? How to make readers, especially editors, wake up and take notice, turn our image-makers into money-makers? In this workshop we will read poems and narratives that contain vivid and graphic figures of speech, and practice writing our own alluring pictures in words.

Ekphrastic Writing

From frescoes to graphic novels, artists have made pictures inspired by words and writers have been inspired by visual art. Plato described what happens when a writer writes creatively as Ekphrasis. In this class we will explore historic relationships between verbal and visual imagery, look at how writers have learned from visual art and make our own work inspired by and incorporating visual art. Class will meet twice at Hugo House (April 18-19 class sessions) and once at the Frye Art Museum (April 23 class session). Suitable for writers of all genres. Handouts provided in class. NB: Students are invited to attend a reading and launch party at the Frye for “Looking Together: Writers on Art,” co-edited by Rebecca Brown and Mary Jane Knecht on Thursday, March 12, 7 p.m. Students who enroll in this class can purchase “Looking Together’ for a 10% discount at the Frye Museum store.

From the Beginning

Editors will tell you that if the opening of a story or novel doesn’t grab them in the first two pages, they stop reading. But is where you start the same as where your story begins? In this workshop we’ll come at openings from multiple directions, including notions of character complexity and the story’s critical voice. We’ll look at the openings of successful published stories and novels in both mainstream and genre fiction before moving on to troublesome middles and endings. Expect exercises and even bad examples. If you have frustrating stories or novels in progress bring along the openings for examination.

Mavis Gallant Retrospective

Mavis Gallant, one of the great short story writers, moved to Paris in 1950 to make it as a writer. A Canadian ex-pat, she still lives and writes in Paris. In this class, we’ll look closely at the writer and her work and study the short story form. We’ll also write Gallant-inspired fiction and read stories from different decades of her collected works. You’ll receive a reading packet to read from, before and between sessions. In the first session, we’ll watch “Paris Stories: The Writing of Mavis Gallant.”

The Mind’s Eye: Become a Visual Writer

Every writer has been admonished: “show, don’t tell,” so in this two-part class we’ll be taking a step-by-step approach toward infusing our written work with the essential techniques of visual storytelling. Using methods from masters such as Alfred Hitchcock and Carl Jung, we’ll develop writing that projects up off the page and into the deepest parts of the reader’s mind.

Freedom through Form

Is form in poetry dead, passé? Has everything that can be said in form been said? Do poets know how to write in form, do they have the discipline to craft their work using poetic forms? A poet’s job is to be aware of and be able to use all the tools of the trade. We will focus on writing in a variety of poetic forms, including the sonnet, ballad, Celtic forms and villanelle, with examples from Chaucer and Shakespeare to the present, including works in translation, to read aloud and discuss. We will then write our own poetry in these forms and read it aloud. The end of the course will include a performance night.

Looking for the Hook

A hook is an idea or image that acts as a portal into a story and captures the reader’s attention. It could be a powerful or provocative first sentence, a compelling character, narrator or setting. The hook also sets the tone and pace of a story, giving the reader an expectation of what is to come. In this workshop, we’ll explore ways to find the right hook to jump-start a story. We will analyze hooks used in children’s literature past and present, and through several writing exercises, try our hand at coming up with hooks to begin new stories. Please bring an example to class of what you think is a good hook from a favorite book in any genre.

Choosing the Voice: A Workshop in Point of View

When people begin writing a story or novel, they haggle over all kinds of things in their minds: the plot, the setting, the tone, the characters. When it comes to point of view, however, they often make their choice intuitively, without giving much thought to the possibilities. Yet point of view controls every aspect of perception and evocation in any story, and if you screw it up, it’s like trying to play golf with a hairdryer, or a howitzer. In this workshop we will examine the varying effects of point of view, experiment with possibilities and discover the multiple connections between point of view, character and voice.
