Speaking of social media, if you’re on Facebook,
check out this conversation and reading on FB Live!, with Patricia Smith at Chop Suey
Books in Richmond, VA. I’m good enough, but Wonton the cat is the real star of

I will be offering another one of my prompt
writing classes at Politics & Prose Bookstore in June. The theme is
especially interesting this time, “The Art of Losing,” guided, of course, but
Elizabeth Bishop’s iconic villanelle “One Art.” (If you don’t know what I’m
talking about, drop everything and read it here
immediately, and if you do know, reread it just because.)
These classes often sell out, so don’t wait too
long.
Wednesday, June 13
6:30 p.m.– 9 p.m.
Class ~ Right Brain Writing: The Art of Losing
Politics & Prose
Washington, DC
Explore your creative side in this session, one of
a series of stand-alone classes with prompts designed to get your subconscious
flowing. Through guided exercises, we’ll focus on writing about the variety of
losses we have encountered in our lives, the large and small absences that
inform our landscape. Elizabeth Bishop calls it “the art of losing”; where is
the art in saying goodbye? No writing experience necessary! This is a great
class for beginners and also for those fiction writers and/or memoirists with
more experience who might be stuck in their current projects and are looking
for a jolt of inspiration. Our
goal is to have fun in a supportive, nurturing environment and to go home with
several promising pieces to work on further.
Please bring lots of paper and pen/pencil or a fully charged computer. Note:
new exercises!
