*The Translation of Desire*

*Creative Non Fiction Writing Workshop with Essayist DAVID LAZAR *

*Guest:*

* Poet/Essayist ADRIANNE KALFOPOULOU*

*June 23RD - July 3RD *

Creative Nonfiction Workshop/The Translation of Desire

When we write various forms of nonfiction—personal essay, prose, poetry,
memoir.  .  . we always want something. Sometimes it’s to get closer to
understanding an idea, sometimes to get closer to some part of ourselves
that we haven’t quite figured out. Perhaps there’s a story we need to tell
that resonates in a way beyond the merely personal. We’ll explore a variety
of forms and techniques for trying to use literary nonfiction as art and
exploration, looking at some brief models by writers such as Wayne
Koestenbaum, John Berger, Abigail Thomas, Claudia Rankine and others.
