2010 Workshop: |

In my workshops, I
am not interested in “fixing” so-called
flawed texts; fixing is the work of morticians. I am interested
in helping writers discover what their drafts want to be
when they grow up. How do we locate the essay hiding within
the messay, the memoir stalled on a ME-more track, the
poem trying to sing its way out of the journal’s
pages? Our task as writers is not only to pay attention
to our world but also to use the materials of the world
in extraordinary ways. To do this, we must uncover the
subtle design, the “figure in the carpet” that
is woven into even the most everyday events. Often we must
proceed without knowing what form the work will finally
take. We write our way into the question, into the mystery.
Writing begets more writing; meaning grows on the page. |
