Description
DEEP TIME: an art and writing workshop that digs to the root of meaning
Thursday, November 21 · 6 – 7pm PST. Doors at 5:55pm
Amatoria Fine Art Books – 1831 F Street, Sacramento, CA. 95811
About the Workshop
In this hour-long workshop, we will look at a poem and a work of visual art as invitations into our own creative writing. The practice of writing from visual art is called ekphrasis. Our theme will be transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The first part of our time together will be spent reading, looking, listening, and talking. We will spend the second half of our time in communal quiet, writing together in response to the work we’ve looked at, with time left at the end for optional sharing.
This workshop is open to anyone who wants to spend thoughtful time in community engaged with beauty and meaning. All writing genres and levels welcome.
Scholarships are available for youth writers and those in need of financial assistance. Apply by 11/15.

Her essays have been published by the Paris Review, McSweeney’s, and StoryQuarterly, and her work has been supported with fellowship awards from Millay Arts, Ucross, Vermont Studio Center, and MacDowell.

It’s The Claw season once again 🙌🍂🍁 and some genius on Reddit suggested an official Claw Day fest w rides, and Wht Claws, and actual Claws, and maybe a clawfish boil. It’s a great idea. There could be a Claw parade and of course Claw driver competitions. Endless possibilities and it would be good fun.
