Poems Alive 1 day | Elizabeth Austen What does it take to make poems come alive in performance? Commitment, practice…and some skills that poet and performer Elizabeth Austen will teach in this interactive workshop. We’ll


explore the physical nature of


language, and practice embodying the poem-backing it up with breath, voice and body. You’ll leave with concrete tools to improve your reading skills and public presence. Applicable to all styles of poetry. Held at the EWU Riverpoint Campus, Phase 1 Building. Pre-registration suggested; general admission $30/$20 w/ student ID. Sa 4/14

Forms of Fiction 1 day | Caitlin Horrocks Poets have sonnets, villanelles, haibuns, ghazals, pantoums: hundreds of forms to provide scaffolding and structure to their lyrical ideas. In fiction, we often talk about form only in terms of length: novels and short stories and short-shorts or the elusive novella. We can do better! Think Ander Monson’s “Big 32,” in the form of a temperature gauge, or Kevin Wilson’s “The Dead Sister Handbook,” or more traditional stories that impose some kind of constraint on their authors or readers. This workshop will re-examine the idea of form in fiction: how it can shape a difficult subject, refresh a familiar one, and provide new paths for our creativity. Workshop will include sample readings and practical exercises. Held at the EWU Riverpoint Campus, Phase 1 Building. Pre-registration suggested; general admission $30/$20 w/student ID. Sa 4/14

20 Ways to Tell a Story 1 day | Wendy Call In this fast-paced afternoon, we zoom through twenty writing exercises, searching for the best way to get those words on the page. If there’s a story (factual or otherwise) you’ve been itching to tell, or a narrative poem prowling your mind, this is your chance to anchor those words to the page. Multimedia writing prompts – questions, answers, lines of poetry, images, even scents – will help us open the dusty drawers of memory and empty them out. Each participant leaves with the raw material for a rough draft. All writers or wannabe writers age 13 and over are welcome! Held at the EWU Riverpoint Campus, Phase 1 Building. Pre-registration
