Apply for a scholarship here.\nLOCATION: Online via Zoom\nLEVEL: All levels\nCAP: 15\nSinger-songwriter Neko Case tells us\, “Don’t let this fading summer pass you by\,” so we’re gonna grab onto it and write epic end-of-summer\, back-to-school\, hot-days-in-the-city poems! In this gentle generative workshop\, we’ll use visual\, musical\, and written prompts to capture whatever vibes you feel come August\, whether it’s nostalgia or relief or something else entirely. We’ll experiment with wordplay and form\, consider meter and rhyme\, and try out different points of view. You’ll leave this workshop with some finished poems\, some new ideas\, and some prompts to try out on your own to keep the momentum going. All genres and levels of writers are welcome!\nThis event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs\, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.\nThis project is generously funded by Mid-America Arts Alliance\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the state arts agencies of Arkansas\, Kansas\, Missouri\, Nebraska\, Oklahoma\, and Texas.

SUMMARY:Read Essays Like a Writer
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Mark Dostert\nTIME: Saturday\, August 31\, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. CDT\nPRICE: Early bird price: $45 for members\, $60 for nonmembers. The deadline for early bird pricing is Sunday\, August 25. After Sunday\, August 25: $55 for members\, $70 for nonmembers. Become a member here. Apply for a scholarship here.\nLOCATION: Writespace\, 1907 Sabine Street\, #125\, Houston\, TX 77007 (map)\nLEVEL: All levels\nCAP: 15\nIn order to write publishable essays (that is\, essays that appeal to and connect with strangers)\, it is important to understand why exemplars of the form are so successful and effective. What is it that keeps readers connected to the narrator and the issues an essay raises\, both individual and collective\, concrete and abstract? What “raw materials” has the author used to construct this text? Which authorial choices allow us to “see” and “feel” the architecture of a successful essay? How can we then emulate these techniques in our own work?\nIn this three-hour class\, Mark Dostert will facilitate a focused examination and annotation of two flash essays by Rick Bragg and “Lessons from Mary” by Andre Dubus III.\nAs our initial point of discussion\, we will examine how each author uses the “Big Five” literary elements\, focusing on what the author is doing and why the author is writing what they are writing. We will also explore why it is necessary to write vertically as well as horizontally.\nStudents will receive a PDF copy of both essays and are urged to read the selection closely before class meets so that we can dive right into our analysis and make valuable use of our time together.\nThis event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs\, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.\n​This project is generously funded by Mid-America Arts Alliance\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the state arts agencies of Arkansas\, Kansas\, Missouri\, Nebraska\, Oklahoma\, and Texas.
