Fall may be about leaving home or coming home. In either case, Fall is for harvesting what nourishes and discharging what is spent. In this generative workshop we’ll honor the season by curling up to write together about The House. Dream house, haunted house, house & garden. Houses of memory, houses of refuge, childhood homes. In response to poems, short prose and prompts, we’ll shake our trees and see what worlds befall us.
