Winterfat Writing Circle 2: Deconstructing Fate

An intuitive writing group for writers and readers to enter into their body and re-imagine their self-experience. Winterfat Writing Circle is a subset of Winterfat Presse. Our goal is to create spaces where writers and readers can enter into their body and re-imagine their self-experience, particularly through dissident ethics our editorial team draws from authors like Audre Lorde, Gwendolyn Brooks, and June Jordan. This writing circle's theme is: 'Deconstructing Fate,' based on the above June Jordan poem, I Must Become a Menace to My Enemies. Each writing circle uses the same format, but addresses a different theme. We begin with brief introductions, and then collectively read a relevant piece of writing to the prompt, which our team crafts uniquely for each group. We review and discuss the prompt, then have individual writing time. This is followed by an optional open mic and shared reflection portion. Please bring a writing utensil, paper, and an open mind. The event will last around two hours, and includes sharing at the end. We will meet in the side room at Fiction. THERE IS NO ATTENDANCE LIMIT BUT MEETUP DOES NOT ALLOW US TO LIST MORE AVAILABLE SPACES. YOU CAN JUST SHOW UP! If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
