How will we get to the horizon? How will they hold the rainbow? How do you touch the cloud? There are so many ways to write and it’s fun to experiment together across genres. In this workshop, we will experiment with forms and be open to any genre. We write with a creative form in mind, but in the genre each of us chooses. A sonnet can be science fiction. A flash essay can follow the raging river or a bolt of lightning. Your hand, your house, your high school are all forms waiting for your words. We will experiment with a few existing, and a few invented forms as we work our way to the horizon.

This workshop is for students in 9-12th grade and will take place in-person at Hugo House.
