Hermit crab essays are typically short memoir narratives presented in borrowed forms - recipes, for example, or letters to the editor.
In this workshop, participants will explore examples of the hermit crab form, work together to generate ideas for hermit crab essays, and then have time to develop and (optional!) share a piece of their own. Aimed at all - from experienced writers interested in playing with a new form or shaking a creative block, to first-timers, and everyone in between.
Facilitator: Jess Wright (she/they) writes poetry and prose in omnivorous and occasionally experimental fashion. Their work has appeared most recently in Queerlings, Write or Die, streetcake magazine, and Foglifter Journal. Jess has facilitated writing groups and creative workshops for over ten years in community spaces, universities, and prisons.
