Join us for this generative three-week workshop inspired by poems from Kim Addonizio’s new book Now We’re Getting Somewhere (Norton 2021).
How it works: You’ll respond to three prompts per week as well as participate in weekly informal discussions of the book. All work is asynchronous except for a Zoom reading and Q&A with Kim (date and time TBA).
To buy the book (required), please visit your local indie bookstore or order online.

Less Is More: Writing Micro
Fall 2021: October 11 – November 7
Spring 2022: January 24 – February 20
This four-week class will be limited to twelve participants in order to guarantee an experience that is both fun and productive.
Here’s how it will go down: During the first two weeks of class, you’ll generate micros (fiction or nonfiction, fewer than 300 words) in response to each of six prompts. Each prompt will be preceded by a brief piece of (published) prose and a short discussion of the aspects of craft — characterization, setting, point of view, and structure – that are key to an effective piece of short prose.
During Weeks Three and Four, you’ll revise and share two of your prompts in an informal workshop that’s designed to be both constructive and helpful.
Course fee: $110
