We will familiarize ourselves with the fundamentals of prose and poetry in order to apply those elements to our work\, reading work by published writers in order to expand our sense of narrative possibility. We will support each other in taking risks and being vulnerable\, and use workshop to offer and receive feedback\, gather ideas for revision\, and refine our responses to works in progress.\nOver the last few decades\, organizations designed to support and promote the work of writers of color have emerged across the country. Cave Canem\, Kundiman\, Canto Mundo\, VONA\, Kimbilio\, and others recognize the need to provide writers of color with the kind of community and workshop space that encourages taking risks\, resisting stereotypes (in ourselves\, others\, and in our writing)\, and creating poems\, stories\, novels\, and essays that speak to the range of our experience as human beings. This workshop shares these intentions and seeks to provide Houston writers of color with the freedom and support offered by these organizations.\nThis workshop is open to writers of all backgrounds typically underrepresented in American literature\, including\, but not limited to\, writers who identify themselves as African American or Caribbean\, Asian American\, Middle Eastern\, Chicanx\, Hispanic\, and Latinx. Expect to come away with fierce new work\, as well as a renewed sense of the power found through community.\nThis workshop is funded in part by a grant from Poets & Writers.\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.

According to author Lorrie Moore\, in “times of collision\, emergency\, surrealism\, aftermath\, disorientation.” How odd\, then\, to consider why we laugh in darkest moments\, how humor often casts a long\, black shadow. In this workshop\, we will examine the work of four writers who specialize in the tragicomic: George Saunders\, Lorrie Moore\, Elizabeth McCracken\, and Jim Shepard. How do their stories make us wince in laughter and show us dark aspects of everyday life? And—most importantly—what techniques and strategies can we carry into our own work? Together\, we will study ways to braid the comic with its All darkness\, and darkness with unconquerable laughter.\nThis four-week workshop will center four short stories (one per week\, provided by the instructor) as well as discussions regarding any ongoing projects of workshop participants. The goal of the workshop is to develop a toolkit for the incorporation of what we call “dark comedy” into a writer’s storytelling. All with writerly aspirations and a good sense of humor are encouraged to join.\nThe story for our first class is Offloading for Mrs. Schwartz by George Saunders. Please read the story prior to class so we can jump right in.\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.

Why do we adore elephants and fear snakes? Scientist and science writer Bethany Brookshire argues it’s all a matter of perspective\, and where we want animals to be. When they’re in zoos\, or wild places\, we love them and can’t wait to get close. But when animals pop up where we don’t expect\, we respond with fear\, rage\, or simple annoyance. It’s no longer an animal. It’s a pest.\nJoin Bethany Brookshire as she dissects the dynamic between human and pests\, and why some animals earn our love\, and others our hate.\nEligible for CPE credit.\nDistinguished Lectures are supported by Apache Corporation.

We will familiarize ourselves with the fundamentals of prose and poetry in order to apply those elements to our work\, reading work by published writers in order to expand our sense of narrative possibility. We will support each other in taking risks and being vulnerable\, and use workshop to offer and receive feedback\, gather ideas for revision\, and refine our responses to works in progress.\nOver the last few decades\, organizations designed to support and promote the work of writers of color have emerged across the country. Cave Canem\, Kundiman\, Canto Mundo\, VONA\, Kimbilio\, and others recognize the need to provide writers of color with the kind of community and workshop space that encourages taking risks\, resisting stereotypes (in ourselves\, others\, and in our writing)\, and creating poems\, stories\, novels\, and essays that speak to the range of our experience as human beings. This workshop shares these intentions and seeks to provide Houston writers of color with the freedom and support offered by these organizations.\nThis workshop is open to writers of all backgrounds typically underrepresented in American literature\, including\, but not limited to\, writers who identify themselves as African American or Caribbean\, Asian American\, Middle Eastern\, Chicanx\, Hispanic\, and Latinx. Expect to come away with fierce new work\, as well as a renewed sense of the power found through community.\nThis workshop is funded in part by a grant from Poets & Writers.\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.
