SUMMARY:Virtual Seattle Writes: An Ancient Music - Writing with South Asian Ghazals
DESCRIPTION:Explore the ghazal form of poetry through select readings and writing prompts with Shankar Narayan. Registration required. Click here to register. \nGhazals in South Asia are one of the most popular forms of poetry anywhere. While there has been much analysis of the ghazal’s evolution in English\, how the ghazal works as popular art is less accessible to western writers. This class aims to give participants a flavor of that space. In this multi-genre\, part-generative\, part-analytical class\, we’ll listen to versions of ghazals in Urdu\, read translations\, consider what makes a good ghazal work\, and use all that to create our own burning\, yearning works. No prior knowledge required — but come ready to engage and to write! \nShankar Narayan explores identity\, power\, mythology\, and technology in a world where the body is flung across borders yet possesses unrivaled power to transcend them. Shankar is a four-time Pushcart Prize nominee and has received awards and fellowships from Kundiman\, Hugo House\, Jack Straw\, Flyway\, River Heron\, and others. He is a 4Culture grant recipient for Claiming Space\, a project to lift the voices of writers of color\, and his chapbook\, Postcards From the New World\, won the Paper Nautilus Debut Series chapbook prize. Shankar draws strength from his global upbringing and from his work at the intersection of technology and civil rights. In Seattle\, he awakens to the wonders of Cascadia every day\, but his heart yearns east to his other hometown\, Delhi. Connect with him at shankarnarayan.net. \nWe can provide accommodations for people with disabilities at Library events. Please contact leap@spl.org at least seven days before the event to request accommodations.\n \nShare This

Writers receive training in vocal presentation\, performance\, and microphone technique to prepare them for studio recording and live readings. Their recorded readings and interviews with the curator are then used to produce features on our web site\, for radio broadcast\, and for podcasts\, which are available for streaming or download on the Jack Straw website. \nABOUT THE CURATOR: \n2020 Writers Program Curator Anastacia-Renée is a multi-genre writer\, educator\, and interdisciplinary artist.

SUMMARY:Virtual Write with Hugo House: Seattle Writes
DESCRIPTION:Attend free drop-in writing circles facilitated by established local writers from Hugo House! Bring something you’re working on\, or just come ready to write. Registration required.  \nTo receive the link for this event\, please click here and select the red date you want to attend. Phone registration also available at 206-322-7030. \nIn this group\, we’ll focus on generative writing through poetry prompts. The session will begin with introductions and a short warm-up\, after which we’ll read two separate poems and write in response to those. At times writers will be invited to create community through sharing words or ideas with other writers in small groups. Attendees will leave the class with 2-3 new drafts of poems. Designed for all writers\, this group supports poets as well those working in other genres\, as the skills practiced in poetry can be thought of as “cross-training” for memoir and fiction\, too. \nJeanine Walker was a 2015 Jack Straw Writer and has published poems in Cimarron Review\, Narrative\, Pleiades\, and Web Conjunctions. She holds a Ph.D. in Creative Writing from the University of Houston and teaches for Writers in the Schools. \nLibrary events and programs are free and everyone is welcome.
