SUMMARY:CRAFT WORKSHOP | defiant forms: A generative cross-genre workshop
DESCRIPTION:CRAFT WORKSHOP\ndefiant forms: A generative cross-genre workshop\nwith Matty Layne Glasgow\nFriday\, April 24 | 10 AM – 12 PM\nAmes Writers Collective\, Fifth Street Writers (612 Fifth Street) \nIn this generative workshop\, we’ll consider and draw inspiration from approaches that delight in the blending and blurring of genre and tradition. Bring a draft of a piece in any genre that feels stuck for one reason or another\, and we’ll try our hand at creating our own novel forms that play with mimetic representation of the systems our work engages with and\, potentially\, seeks to deconstruct. Pearl Hogrefe Visiting Writer Series Event.\n\nThis event is FREE and open to all writers and non-writers.
