Topography of Chance Workshop with Vanessa Berry
About this Event
How can the forces of chance and serendipity shape writing? With a focus on daily life, memory, objects and moments, this workshop with Vanessa Berry will attune you to noticing and working with material from everyday life. You will learn how chance, coincidence, serendipity and other acts of enhanced noticing can form the basis for your writing, and extend into essays, fiction and poetry.
