Programs
A series designed to explore the deep, entangled relationships between the ecological history of the land and our own personal and familial histories. Three distinct authors from different genres share their process, guide participants through prompts, and provide feedback.
September 8, 1 pm to 4 pm
with Irene Drago
Irene Drago will take participants through her process of creating historical fiction, which includes immersion in images, written source materials, and active imagination. Participants will then have a chance to write their own historical fiction, inspired by the Desert landscape and history, historic photos, historic film footage, maps, and other primary sources.
September 29, 10 am to 2 pm
with Jason Brown
Jason Brown is a Stegner fellow and creative writing professor at the University of Oregon. He is known for both fiction and nonfiction with work published in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, Harper's, and Best American Short Stories. His writing has been described as a staggering portrait of inheritance and identity that burrows deep into the history of family and country. The workshop will give participants an opportunity to receive feedback and instruction from Jason Brown.
