If you have resolved to focus on your writing this year, maybe I can help! Spring and Summer are my best, most energized seasons to dedicate to manuscript review and personalized writing project coaching. Please check out my services and be in touch here if you would like to talk about working together to forward your goals.

Also, the following small classes in Northeast Minneapolis are now open for registration: 
​
Sunday, April 19th, 10am-2pm

In the Cards: A Generative Poetry/Tarot Workshop 
$30, Email here to reserve your spot!

Image, insight, archetype. Your Tarot deck may provide guidance, but how can you use the deck to generate or revise your poems? I will give a brief introduction of Tarot for newcomers and provide examples of a couple spreads. We’ll read and discuss a few famously Tarot-inspired poems, and I'll describe the process I've been using the past couple years. After that, we’ll generate work using the cards. Please feel free to bring your own deck if you’ve got one!

​

6 Thursdays: July 9th-August 13th, 6:30-8:30pm

Genre Blenders
$180, Fills quickly! Contact me here to reserve your spot!


I run this very small private workshop for intermediate to advanced writers who are interested in blurred genres or in crossing genre (from poetry to prose or vice versa). We'll focus on writers who make it seem ​​effortless: Claudia Rankine, Brian Blanchfield, Eleni Sikelianos, Bhanu Kapil, and Anne Carson, for example. For six  2-hour sessions, we'll read and discuss prose, poetry, and hybrid texts by one or two authors each week, I'll give a mini craft talk, and we'll generate writing based on prompts. You'll go home with enough inspiration and supplemental prompts to keep you going long after the course ends.

    It's my second attempt at blogging; my first was here. And the blog archive for one of my former reading series, the Imaginary Press Reading Series, is here.
