Writing the Body with JD Amick

This generative writing workshop will explore imagery of the senses and use language to inhabit, transform, and dissect the human body on the page. Over the course of this guided writing workshop, adults at all stages of their writing lives will produce new poetry informed by the experiences of being in a body.

Notebooks and pens will be provided. Participants are also welcome to bring their own writing materials and/or devices like a laptop if they prefer.

The Butler MFA Community Workshop series is a free writing program facilitated by Butler University alumni of the MFA in Creative Writing. These one-off workshops, hosted at partner sites including bookstores, nonprofits, and public libraries in the Greater Indianapolis area, connect adults at all stages of their writing journeys with workshop experiences shaped by graduate-level study. Thanks to a generous gift from the Efroymson Family Fund, alumni from the program's concentrations in Poetry, Creative Nonfiction, and Fiction will guide local writers into creative practice. Each workshop is designed to help participants generate new work, learn new ways of thinking about the craft of writing, and more confidently continue their own writing practices.
