Two-Day Intensive: The Ghost, The Glimmer—A Generative and Experimental Workshop

Using divination techniques like bibliomancy, Tarot, and other oracles, we’ll borrow from Pam Houston's “glimmer” to draw down the muse. Thinking about what haunts us, we’ll rummage in the etymology of words, excavate the archives, and call upon our ancestors. We’ll explore the zeitgeist and the overlap of past, present, and tomorrow in narrative. We’ll throw the stones, write down the bones, and wrap our fingers around our roots. Considering the power of the invisible (subtext, secrets, the arcane, the “truth,” or even God), this intensive is generative while focusing on the art of revision as resurrection for some of the darlings we had to kill.
