Excerpts from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou and “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison.
If our writing today went into a time capsule, what would our poems, novels, flash fiction, and other pieces tell future generations of this unprecedented time? Each workshop will explore short historical text excerpts followed by writing prompts. The goal is to use these writings as a springboard for creating texts in response to our current climate. Writers can also use the prompts to breathe new life into an ongoing project. This workshop is for everyone—new and seasoned writers, and those interested in exploring these pivotal texts.
