Writing Home, offered through Naropa University’s Summer Writing Program

time: July 15-19, 2013

location: Boulder, Colorado

 

What is home? A country? A house? A body? A person? Can our writing be a home? Can we write ourselves (a) home? Where do we write from? Whom do we write to? In poetry, in prose, in reading, in conversation, we will explore these and other questions. We will write the grounds, the memories, the hopes, the sounds, the communities that make our homes. Writers of any genre and experience are welcome.

 

Collaborations / Crossings & Collisions, offered through Naropa University’s MFA in Creative Writing

time: Fall 2013

location: online

What happens when you open up your work to another mind, or two, or three? This course is a reading/writing intensive exploring the possibilities of collaboration in the life and work of the writer. “Collaboration,” from com “with” and labore “to work” offers new creative, social and cultural possibilities to the engaged writer.

We will explore possibilities for collaboration with the written word – looking at collaborations between writer and writer, visual artist, musician, dancer, film-maker, set-designer, the possibilities are endless. Through examining collaborations by contemporary writers, we will explore collaboration theory and practice in order to apply it to our own work.

In addition to exploring various forms of collaboration with classmates, each student will embark on a collaborative project in their home community. Working with a member of the community, the student will engage in a collaboration of their choice, culminating in a community and class presentation during the final two weeks of class.
