We will start with these twigs at the top of the tree and work our way down to the trunk, on our way to the root of meaning. Using the first paragraphs of several classic short stories and novels as guides, we will examine the difference between the start and the beginning of a story or novel. Participants should not bring the first page of an already written work of fiction or one that has been sketched out or outlined. This is not about revision. This is not a workshop. Start fresh with no more than a couple of prose twigs. One session | Friday, May 14 | 1:10–4:10 pm General: $150 | Member: $135 HIGHLIGHTS POETRY PATRICIA SPEARS JONES CAN THIS POEM BE SAVED? Intermediate/Advanced | Often, we find ourselves with stacks or files of nearly finished, not-quite-there poems—revisions have come and gone and yet the poem remains in question. And the question is, Can this poem be saved? Well, sometimes yes and sometimes, sadly, no. But if you have poems that might need a new beginning or a new perceiving—this workshop asks that you bring them in and let’s see if the poem or poems can, indeed, be saved. Oh, and maybe you’ll find yourself with a stack of new poems, too.

But how can a writer get thoughts and emotions across, other than by stating them flat-out or by updating us constantly on breathing and heart rate? We’ll explore ways to use tangent, gesture, backstory, action, association, and more to give characters a rich internal life without resorting to the old cardiopulmonary check-in.

    CAPERNAUM (CHAOS) NadineScreenplay Labaki by Jihad Hojeily Michelle Keserwani 1. INT. DAY – UNSANITARY POLICE DETENTION CENTER 1. In a small unsanitary office, used as a police station, stands Zain, a skinny 12-year-old boy, slightly hunchbacked, wearing only his dirty underwear and looking lost. The boy stands there with his mouth wide open while a 40-year-old doctor examines his teeth like one examines a lab rat. DOCTOR (TALKING TO ZAIN) Tilt your head up. DOCTOR (TALKING TO ANOTHER MAN OFF CAMERA) He's lost his baby teeth. I'd say he's at least 12 years old, maybe 13. 2. INT. DAY- POLICE STATION 2. Several arrested migrant workers from Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, and Africa standing and looking defeated. OFFICER (TALKING TO THE WOMEN) Michelle, the Philippina? Michelle? What's your last name?

OFFICER How many months? LAMA Seven months. OFFICER Okay, CARITAS will see you now. Among the women, a young Ethiopian girl – Tigest (Rahil) – with short hair seems in shock more than others, but she tries to control herself. She has a dripping black mark on her cheek.

  • Sourdough's Place
    26 MANUSCRIPTS SOURDOUGH'S PLACE MARTHA MOLDT I don't guess it's every kid that gets to spend a night at Old Dead Sourdough's place. I'm really pretty lucky, I guess. I mean, most kids' parents are very restrictive--real uptight about letting their experience if he's going to be a world famous writer someday. Some kids's parents are very restrictive-real uptight about letting their little darling go someplace where he might get a hair on his dear head bent out of round or something. Like Bert's mom, for instance. Bert Littlefield. He's my best friend. My mom laughs because Bert's so short and skinny-he'd be fatter I guess except that he runs around all the time like somebody wound up his mainspring too tight. He talks all the time, too. Some- times I just have to turn him off. You know-go read a book or something. It doesn't bother Bert, though. He keeps burbling on and on, just like somebody was listening all the time. I've got to admit, most of the time he has good ideas. I get a lot of my plots out of Bert. If you can stand the jabber long enough, you find out that Bert is really a very creative guy. But his mother ... she's about as sensitive as a dead rat! My mom laughs at us because Bert and I are such a crazy combination. I guess she has got a point-I'm tall and sort of fat (Mom says to say "stocky"), and I'd rather have my nose in a book than almost anything, but Bert and me--we do ok.

Of Snow Drifts Gunnar will stick his head in a four foot drift with his rear end in the air when hunting for a ball. On his first cross-country ski outing back in 2000, Wally stopped at the bottom of a slope, too narrow for a snow plow. This resulted in 2 seconds of panic which felt like 3 minutes. Wally stuck his head in the snow bank and quickly pushed his torso in; only a quivering tail and a few inches of hind quarters Hershey, secretly training for the pounce stuck out. Collision averted, the quivering stopped and Wally backed out. In his mouth hung a limp Hershey , a horribly neglected senior with numerous frog (or toad?) which he held by the head.

I drew the girl wearing a mask being that in most East Asian cultures people wear a mask before and when they get sick. The bird was used to represent the people who see our struggles and pain. The flower is an eschscholzia golden poppy that represents peace. I wanted the background to be stormy to show her state of mind. I made the composition diagonal and the bird flying upward to show that it's going to get better and that there are people who see our struggles without any ethnic bias.

  • In This Extract from the Upcoming Book Just Got Lucky, a Wiltshire Lad Who Turned Pop Scribe and Dived Headlong Into Eighties Lo
    GARY NUMAN Under the skin IN THIS EXTRACT FROM THE UPCOMING BOOK JUST GOT LUCKY, A WILTSHIRE LAD WHO TURNED POP SCRIBE AND DIVED HEADLONG INTO EIGHTIES LONDON CLUBLIFE REMEMBERS SOME REVEALING CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH THE CHARMING AND IRREPRESSIBLE BANANARAMA… PAUL SIMPER t is one of the lesser-known facts in the arena of Eighties pop music that Bananarama’s second album – the one with Robert De Niro’s Waiting and Cruel Summer – was at one stage going to be called Tea At Mrs Simper’s. The genesis for this unlikely title lay in a weekend jaunt in January 1984 undertaken by Sarah Dallin, Keren Woodward and their best pal, fanclub secretary Iand honorary fourth ‘Nana Miss Melody O’ Brien, to my mum and dad’s house in the tiny, pub-less village of East Grafton in Wiltshire. It was a curious weekend. Mrs S viewed Bananarama’s lack of skirts, lipstick or nail polish with suspicion, whilst the three girls didn’t hold much truck with all the talk of slaughtering cows and shooting pheasants. It was Keren who – perhaps with a premonition of her future life on a Cornish country estate with Wham’s Andrew Ridgley 20 years hence – appeared the most at home in the Simper country residence. A photo taken at teatime in the big sitting room shows her standing by the mantelpiece with an air of “Sure, this is my gaff, what of it?” while Sarah and Mel lark about with the family teapot. A Saturday night trip to the closest pub, The Royal Oak in Wootton Rivers, proved equally uncomfortable, with the locals proving about as welcoming as Brian Glover and Rik Mayall in An American Werewolf In London when their game of darts is interrupted.
