In Storytelling & Prose (on Tuesdays), we open the doors to creativity and community through writing. A discussion of readings by exceptional authors is followed by in-class writing connected to the reading’s themes or techniques. The work is then shared aloud.
In the Craft of Poetry (on Thursdays), we read and discuss the work of outstanding poets, and then write to a prompt related to theme, form, or technique. Participants share their work, and get thoughtful feedback from the instructor and the group.
Both classes are held on Zoom. Everyone, whether experienced or new to the page, is welcome at these workshops led by published teaching artists. Made possible by a partnership with the City of Oakland.
“These sessions have expanded myself and my writing
within a community of senior writers and helpful,
excellent facilitators. A fabulous opportunity!” – Geri
ALL CLASSES ARE VIRTUAL: Both classes begin at 12:30 PM.
