Creative Writing 2 is a 6-week class for anyone looking to develop their writing through practice, discussion, and community support. You can write in any genre and bring in your own work, whether it's a finished draft, a work in progress, or something new you’ve written during class.
This creative writing class focuses on giving and receiving feedback that is thoughtful, honest, and helpful. You’ll learn how to use that feedback to revise and move your writing forward. In-class writing time and conversations will help spark ideas and give you fresh ways to look at your work.
By the end of the course, you’ll have revised one or two pieces, built your feedback and revision skills, and added new writing to your practice.

Lautréamont believed poetry belongs to everyone. The Surrealists saw it as a kind of magic. For many writers across time, poetry has been a way to speak freely and make sense of lived experience.
In this class, you’ll write from prompts and read poems from a range of eras and voices. You’ll share your work with others in a space that values curiosity, respect, and thoughtful feedback. The focus isn’t on perfection or theory. It’s on showing up honestly, working through ideas on the page, and letting language do its work.
