### What is embodiment in writing and practice? What does being a writer mean in the day to day? Suitable for writers of prose and poetry at all levels, this 7-week workshop will support and nurture your creative practice as a whole, while working towards the completion of one piece of writing. Throughout the course, we’ll read and discuss essays and fiction by authors such as Melissa Febos, Brian Lin, and Clarice Lispector, allowing us to apply new ideas to in-class writing exercises and discussions aimed at building your writing craft.

From the get-go we’ll be workshopping each other’s pieces as Saskia facilitates constructive conversation about your work, looking in particular at what it is that moves the reader through a text. This workshop will be a supportive framework within which you can examine your relationship to writing while also receiving feedback from Saskia and the group on your project. There will be an attentiveness to style and relationality, questions of embodiment in writing, and ultimately connecting you to your creativity and sense of purpose as a writer and artist.
As the co-creator and deputy editor of the Erotic Review, a writer, and literary translator, Saskia is uniquely equipped to help you think holistically about the push and pull between writing and the way you inhabit the world, a relationship ultimately based in desire, that raw directional current of energy in your storytelling and creative practice. As you work on your project throughout the course, you will foster an open dialogue with yourself through the creative practice of writing
