Caitlin Andrews | Setting as Character
In Irish, the word dindsenchas means, the lore of places. Places are holders of deep wisdom, allowing generations to define and redefine their identity against the timelessness of location. As writers, it is our responsibility to constantly (re)engage with place - responding to its stimuli and lensing its meaning through our prose.
In craft, place is often forgotten when a writer develops an early work-in-progress, favoring instead perhaps more enticing devices such as character or plot. But what if we considered place as a character itself? What if we treated place as a fundamental motivator which drives narrative forward? In this class, partly driven by close reading and partly by responsive generative prompts, we'll take several opportunities to engage with place within ourselves and our work. We'll look to the work of Katrina Carrasco, Toni Morrison, and Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe for inspiration and guidance.
Free, RSVP recommended
