Pacific Rim Poetics is the Hugo House workshop offering from Your Wily Splabman starting in late January. See THIS from the Hugo House and please consider taking the 6 week Pacific Rim Poetics course. & remember, there’s a preview this Saturday at SPLAB from 12n-3p.
Don’t let this be your winter of discontent. At Hugo House, we are offering one-day classes facilitated by nationally known poets Marie Howe and Patricia Smith; prose superstars Debra Magpie Earling, Victor LaValle and Connie Willis; and performance artist Katinka Kraft, as well as plenty of other fiction, nonfiction, poetry and publishing classes. Our six-week classes are just as enticing–Anna Balint, Paul Nelson, Wendy Call and Peter Mountford are just a few of the stellar teachers you will find “making glorious summer”–even in January–here at Hugo House.
