Writing is one of the oldest, most versatile, and most accessible art forms we have. Come join this writing workshop facilitated by Armin Tolentino, former poet laureate of Clark County, where we’ll generate brand new writing in community with each other. Using basic prompts and activities, we’ll create and share work in a supportive environment. No previous writing experience necessary. Recommended age is 16 and over. Couple Tidbits:
This workshop is completely appropriate for people who don't consider themselves writers as well as people who write all the time. It's generative; we'll spend time just making brand new seedlings of work, which is valuable, I believe, for writers at any stage.
Please bring paper (notebook or looseleaf, for example) and your favorite writing utensil. I encourage folks to write longhand because I think there's value in the simplicity of this practice, but we all have different levels of comfort and ability with writing in longhand. If, for any reason, longhand writing is a barrier to your participation, please do bring a laptop or other writing device that allows you to write with us.
