HYBRID GENRE WORKSHOP

GENREQUEER

Henry Hoke

Are you trying out a new genre for the first time? Adapting something you’ve already created into a different form? Hoping to shake up a work-in-progress or near-complete manuscript with dynamic revision? This is where that alchemy can happen. We’ll shirk formal constraints as an inspirational act, via generative prompts and transformative exercises (from impossible stage directions to erasure poetry to manifesto-making), and engage in multi-faceted critique across disciplines. Don’t settle for only one approach. Discover what your work is crying out to be. Crystalize both its purpose and its potential.

If you aren’t sure where exactly your writing fits, you fit here. I like to cultivate a space where no matter where we’re at in the writing process, or in our career, we can always be emerging.
