Source to Self: Writing Through Reading: Interdisciplinary Workshop with Leah Souffrant (via Zoom)

You love to read and you love to write. This workshop guides you through generative activities to incorporate what you read into what you write, helping you make discoveries and build insights through loving, lively reading. In this workshop, you will practice bringing your original voice into conversation with readings, from the timely to the timeless, the beloved to the controversial. Students will blend careful reading with new writing through a series of guided exercises in how to isolate those parts of your favorite readings to provoke and inspire original insights, putting yourself in dialogue with the writers you cherish (or abhor!).  You may bring a beloved text to work with or select from short excerpts provided in the session. Essayists, poets, memoir writers, and novice writers across genres are welcome to join this interdisciplinary, generative workshop.
