(In person only; taught by Liz Harlan-Ferlo) Explore the ways in which writers across traditions have used language to describe God and their experiences of the divine. Using these models and writing exercises, we will generate our own poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Classes will include reading and discussion as well as time to write and share out. Open to writers of all levels.
