SHORT FORM CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP
Intensive Creative Writing Course – 6 ECTS
David Gewanter and Margarida Vale de Gato
July 2024,
This course aims to explore what one can make happen on the page – and then in a succession of others. We will read and discuss intensely some influential and experimental poems, creative essays, and short fiction by English and Portuguese authors (translated). You will work over the drafts of your poems and prose in a collaborative workshop model. Immersion in the Portuguese literary scene and in (inter)national readings will help you to discuss and compare current trends, including incorporating your intercultural experiences into literary forms. This workshop offers you a chance to develop a sequential manuscript in the format of a work-in-progress portfolio, with a framing (or parallel) poetic manifesto.
Class Schedule: Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays: 5 – 7:45 p. m.
Registrations:
- ULisboa students: 100 euros (19 apr) / 140 euros (17 mai)
- ULisboa external candidated: 200 euros (17 mai)
