Sun Creatures: Sensory Exploration
Drawing on techniques of synesthesia, movement, sensory immersion, myth-making, and eco-poetics, we’ll explore what new creatures of the sun we attract with our heliotropic experiments. Perhaps you want to create a setting for your novel, embellish the atmosphere of an essay or poem, or begin moving in a field of sensory language to create new work. No matter your starting place, by the end you’ll go home with new written work and a more vibrant appreciation of the sensory world.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through the end of 2020.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
