The Political Is Personal: A Workshop on Crafting Political Fiction, Poetry, and CNF
Description
In this workshop, the three panelists will briefly discuss their writing on political topics and then offer prompts to generate writing that reverberates with the urgent issues and concerns of our times: gun violence, police brutality, racism, reproductive freedom, planetary destruction. In a time when our media outlets are perceived as–or indeed are–biased and audience is highly polarized, might literary and visual art offer a bridge, a way into talking about what matters in our lives and the world beyond? Come create new work to share at the Open Mic!
