Writing About Loss
All Levels | In this class, we’ll use literature as a lens through which to explore how losses play out in individual lives and the lives of communities. We’ll turn a curious eye to how writers choose to represent grief, which can feel like an experience too big to be contained in language, and we’ll explore a variety of stylistic and formal possibilities as we write, share, and revise our own narratives of loss (whether large or small) in a supportive workshop setting.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online until further notice. If there's a possibility that your class might take place in person, you will be notified in advance. Even if classes can be held in person, there will always be a hybrid option to participate via Zoom.
Classes with "Zoom" in the title will be held via Zoom even after our doors open. Classes listed as "Online" will be held on Wet Ink, our platform for asynchronous learning.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
