Many of us come to the page out of grief, loss, or heartbreak; we write to make sense of the impossible, the irreparable. In this workshop, we will read a range of short work by writers who have written themselves around and through and beyond these moments. We’ll find inspiration and let these works lead us into our own (impossible) writing. The workshop will be generative, and by the end of our time together, you will have a series of essays, stories, or fragments exploring your own losses (big and small), finding voice and shape to get these stories onto the page. All genres welcome.

In this workshop, we will generate new writing through guided exercises and prompts;offer feedback/first impressions on writing you produce in our weekend.
