One-Time Generative Writing Class
via Zoom
ABOUT THIS CLASS
In this course, you will go from feeling stuck in the shadows and invalidated to embracing your freedom and self-expression as an artist. Through guided prompts, you will speak head-on with the enemies of your creative self-worth, name the voices of the monsters that have heretofore kept you from the fullness of your creativity, and from a position of understanding and liberation, explore your vibrant imaginative being. As writers, the very act of writing is what permits us as qualified. Regardless of any external (or internal) conflict. What does life look like when you say yes to yourself? Let's explore.
ABOUT THE SERIES
Sliding scale/affordably priced poetry class!
The Poetry Lab is a community learning space dedicated to mentoring and encouraging poets and writers as they craft their learning journeys. We started in a co-work space in Downtown Long Beach in 2013. Meeting twice a month, our Labs covered topics like Diction, Tone, and Voice, Poetry of Twitter, Power of Revision, and Blind Date with a Book. In other words, these workshops were fun and instructional, often taking non-traditional approaches to poetry.
The BrainTrust series carries on this tradition in one virtual session per month. As always, everyone is welcome here. That means first-time poets, moms and dads, high school students, architects, professors, gamers, and artists of all genres and mediums are welcome to attend as long as they are ready to write!
