Magical Imaginings (Skill Build)

Led by Poet and Teaching Artist, Andrés González-Bonillas, this free, virtual workshop will use sound, meditation, and study of form to provide a framework for facilitating explorations of magical realism and speculative creative writing projects. These genres are rich with radical visions of our own world and the worlds we can create, they challenge our notions of plot and story while also inviting us to question form and to take part in a global literary tradition. Join us on zoom on Saturday, November 2nd!
