2nd Annual BCMS Writers’ Workshop

Saturday, Oct. 13 from 8:30 a.m. to Noon

Course Description: Found Objects:
A Microprose Workshop
Life is full of objects, full of people, full of things to do, full of things that are lost
and things that are found. In this generative workshop for busy people, participants will
explore the idea of misplaced or recovered things; examine how to shape an effective
prose piece, regardless of length; and learn how to write in small, complete bursts. Par-
ticipants will leave with several short pieces and a deeper understanding of microprose.

The Teachers:

Humanities at UTSA. She hails originally from England, but she lived in Los Angeles,
New Jersey, and China before arriving in San Antonio. Her poetry has been published in

on broadsides, and her non-fiction has appeared in Eidolon and Cloelia. She has taught
writing in colleges and in prisons. Her day job is as historian of the brain.
