SUMMARY:Write Our Democracy: Writers for Reproductive Rights
DESCRIPTION:Hugo House is pleased to welcome the return of our collaborative programming with Write Our Democracy. Join us for a new reading and community event hosted by Julia Hands and Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum. \n \nHow do we as writers and community members best utilize our voices\, both on and off the page\, to combat the ongoing onslaught of legislative violence? Write Our Democracy returns to confront these questions and to alchemize our rage into progressive action.  \n \nWe will assemble with six writers from across Washington state as they share the stage and their writing on the topic of reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy. \n \nWe will share opportunities to donate to the Northwest Abortion Access Fund as well as further information on how to take action for reproductive rights. \n \n[Originally launched as Writers Resist\, a movement that inspired nearly 100 worldwide events on January 15\, 2017\, Write Our Democracy is an initiative to gather and mobilize writers and focus public attention on the ideals of a free\, just\, and compassionate democracy.]

SUMMARY:Write with Hugo House with Alma García
DESCRIPTION:Our mission during this time of distraction\, artistic fatigue\, and social isolation is to create a regular time and space for writers to write and to meet each other. In this group\, writers introduce themselves and are provided optional fiction\, poetry and nonfiction prompts to work on for 60-70 minutes of sustained silent writing time\, though they are more than welcome to work on their own projects instead. Small group breakout sessions at the end of our time together encourage participants to share and respond to work generated during the session\, or just get to know the other writers in the group.  \n \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for all ages and genres of writing. Bring something you’re working on\, or just come ready to write. You will have the opportunity to share your work and get feedback—but only if you want to (no pressure). You can also use this time to increase productivity on your current work in progress\, surrounded by fellow writers.

SUMMARY:Write with Hugo House with Jeanine Walker
DESCRIPTION:In this group\, we’ll focus on generative writing through poetry prompts. The session will begin with introductions and a short warm-up\, after which we’ll read two separate poems and write in response to those. At times writers will be invited to create community through sharing words or ideas with other writers in small groups. Attendees will leave the class with 2-3 new drafts of poems. Designed for all writers\, this group supports poets as well those working in other genres\, as the skills practiced in poetry can be thought of as “cross-training” for memoir and fiction\, too.  \n \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for all ages and genres of writing. Bring something you’re working on\, or just come ready to write. You will have the opportunity to share your work and get feedback—but only if you want to (no pressure).

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Book of Small Regrets by Ellen Sollod in conversation with Marcie Sillman
DESCRIPTION:Join artist/writer Ellen Sollod for a brief multimedia presentation of The Book of Small Regrets\, followed by a spirited conversation with award-winning radio journalist Marcie Sillman. The Book of Small Regrets was created in response to the COVID crisis when even the smallest slights could seem catastrophic. Sollod tapped her social network to contribute their own small regrets\, impulse purchases and “comfort” foods to which they turned to manage their pandemic anxiety. These acted as prompts for the creation of the book. As an artist-conceived and designed book\, it straddles the genres of writing and visual art. While it is a traditional codex form\, it expands the definition of what a book can be and encourages the reader/viewer to broaden their own preconceived notions of “book.” Combining writing\, drawing and photography\, the book explores the universal experiences we all have as human beings with foibles and challenges. It brings together a light-hearted touch with a sense of humility. \n \nThis project is supported in part by the City of Seattle Office of Arts and Culture City Artists Program.

SUMMARY:My A.I. Is My Co-Writer: A Double Book Launch with Sasha Stiles and K Allado-McDowell
DESCRIPTION:This event will explore the nascent\, fascinating intersection of writing and Artificial Intelligence\, introducing the creative and imaginative potential of this technology to an audience of curious readers and writers who may be interested in exploring AI's potential for themselves. \n \nIt will explore the craft of authoring a text with a nonhuman writing partner\, and into the questions of what authorship and inspiration really are.  \n \nCan a neural net be creative? Can a poem generated by a machine truly move us\, and if so\, what does that mean about our own human consciousness?  \n \nAt the same time\, the event will seek to open up an important dialogue about the cultural and social implications of AI natural language processing\, and artificial intelligence more broadly.  \n \nWhat is GPT-3 technology\, and how does hold a mirror up to humanity\, for better and for worse?  \n \nMost of all\, it will expand and update our approach to reading and writing poetry by asking what we can learn about ourselves by collaborating with intelligent machines to discover our own poetry.

SUMMARY:Poetry’s Possible Powers: A Reading and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:For the West Coast debut of her memoir Poetry’s Possible Worlds\, Lesley Wheeler leads a reading and discussion about what reading and writing poetry can do for individuals and communities. According to cognitive scientists\, the experience of “literary transportation”—getting lost in a book—can change a person\, starting with small physical alterations in heartrate and respiration\, but sometimes extending to transforming attitudes. The artistic experience of “flow” has parallel effects; a regular practice of expressive writing can calm and sometimes even heal. Washington State Poet Laureate Rena Priest along with Jeannine Hall Gailey\, Mita Mahato\, Martha Silano\, and Lesley Wheeler will share their own poems and poems by others\, reflecting on how reading and writing help them cope with challenges including health crisis\, environmental emergency\, and personal and historical trauma. \n \nRena Priest appears courtesy of the Washington State Poet Laureate's Office\, supported in part by Washington Humanities and the Washington State Arts Commission.

SUMMARY:Reading: "A Prayer for a Non-Religious Autistic" with Lucas Scheelk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual reading with Lucas Scheelk as they read from and share their latest work\, A Prayer for a Non-Religious Autistic. Lucas' work is not afraid to be intimate with multilayered truths: a family history book for those who (in various ways) choose their own\, a Jewish conversion story\, disability advocacy\, a literary supply of special interests as palate cleansers\, and a behind-the-scenes feature on the effects of misdiagnosis\, mental illness\, and addiction.  \n \nA Prayer for a Non-Religious Autistic is a family history book for those who (in various ways) choose their own\, a Jewish conversion story\, disability advocacy\, a literary supply of special interests as palate cleansers\, and a behind-the-scenes feature on the effects of misdiagnosis\, mental illness\, and addiction. The repetition used throughout is both cyclical (a reminder that healing is not linear) and\, as described at the start of the book\, autistic literature. Accompanying Scheelk’s third poetry book includes image descriptors\, a trigger warning list\, and a Disability Resources section to encourage self-education.

SUMMARY:Write with Hugo House with Jeanine Walker
DESCRIPTION:In this group\, we’ll focus on generative writing through poetry prompts. The session will begin with introductions and a short warm-up\, after which we’ll read two separate poems and write in response to those. At times writers will be invited to create community through sharing words or ideas with other writers in small groups. Attendees will leave the class with 2-3 new drafts of poems. Designed for all writers\, this group supports poets as well those working in other genres\, as the skills practiced in poetry can be thought of as “cross-training” for memoir and fiction\, too.  \n \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for all ages and genres of writing.
