Intuitive Recollections: A Generative Prose Wrokshop with Kofi Antwi (via Zoom)

During the workshop writers will engage in establishing a distinct structure for prose writing. Writers will examine and discuss the text assigned for the workshop. The poetic prompts supplied by the workshop facilitator will serve as entry into the writer’s written work created in the workshop.
