Through guided exercises, close readings, and blunt talk, we’ll learn to shape rage into a language that bites, resists, survives. Come with your teeth bared, or come trembling. Either way: come willing to write what you’d rather burn.

Writing From Rage: Turning Fury Into Form

Shape rage into powerful and impactful writing at Writing From Rage: Turning Fury Into Form! Afterwards, join our open mic salon.

From Thomas Bernhard’s venomous spirals to Audre Lorde’s lucid fire, from Baldwin’s incandescent justice to Acker’s punk obliterations – rage has always been an agent of truth-telling. Participants will explore how to write from their own fury – without ranting, without retreating.
