Narrative “occurs in us and around us all the time,” said Gordon Lish in an interview.  With this in mind, our workshop will center on learning to listen for, shape, and interpret our own narratives—and to bring them into conversation with the world around us.  We will write new fiction and take a critical lens to the work of established writers in order to use their narratives—as well as essays on craft and writing prompts—to examine aspects of form, voice, character, and conflict, as well as to consider choices in language, structure, and style.  Our central goal is to explore all the stages of the writing process, and find ways to better integrate a writer’s vantage point, and a nuanced, complex understanding of narrative, into our daily lives and practices.
