Class Description
Self doubt, writer's block, fear, and the constant battle against the clock can seem to eclipse the joy of writing. This class will work to push you out of your own way with the goal to play, collaborate, and write! Class will involve a variety of open-ended prompts using music, art, and excerpts of poems and fiction to get you thinking and feeling. This is a generative class for the person searching for a few hours to spark creativity, ignite new ideas, and fall back in love with the joy of writing in a supportive community environment. SARAH LEVINE is a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee and author of two chapbooks, Take Me Home, a finalist for the New Women’s Voices Chapbook Competition (Finishing Line Press, 2020) and Her Man (New Megaphone Press, 2014). Her work has appeared and will be featured in a variety of places including: Poets and Writers, Passages North, Best New Poets anthology, and Green Mountains Review. She earned her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and MAT from Smith College. Levine has received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Kenyon Review Writers Workshop, and Martha's Vineyard Institute for Creative Writing. She teaches 12th Grade AP Literature and Creative Writing at Williston Northampton School where she currently holds the Richard C. Gregory Endowed Chair. Her debut collection, Each Knuckle with Sugar won the 2024 Driftwood Press Open Reading Contest and is nominated for the 2025 Massachusetts Book Award.
