You wake up on a spaceship. Outside the window, you can see the earth: as big as a ladybug crawling across a window pane … and you immediately start to panic. How did you get here? Where are you headed? And what is a poet doing in the middle of space?!

In this free writing workshop series, participants will assume the role of a poet heading on a solo mission through the solar system. Each week, they will tell a chapter of their story using different forms of poetry—and hopefully make it back home to Earth!

Do you have something to say about the world you live in? Do you want to talk about the way that it works—or the ways you think it should? Then speculative fiction sounds like the genre for you! 

In this free writing workshop series, participants will explore the conventions of speculative fiction in order to create their own expansive worlds.
