Spill Your Guts

  • PDX Eastside Jewish Commons (map)

Inspired by the work of Roz Chast, Maira Kalman, Alison Bechdel, Ellen Forney, Nora Krug, as well as a variety of poets, you will write flash memoir. This highly accessible genre allows us to coddle our shortened attention spans while crystallizing our stories of impactful moments, people, places and things. You will write concise, yet detailed, clear, yet lyrical, SHORT pieces-- prose poems, really. I will also share techniques that will allow even the "non-artist" to cleverly illustrate these pieces, as well as suggest ideas for compiling your pieces into a whole that tells the bigger story. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.

Taught by award winning writer and performer, Leanne Grabel
