The Free Generative Writing Workshop for June

Co-sponsored by PorchLight and Iowa City Poetry, the Free Generative Writing Workshops provide a space for career writers, curious beginners, writers of all income levels and stages of life. Our goal is to make it easy to meet and learn from some of the most talented writer/teachers living in or passing through Iowa City. Every month a new writer leads a generative workshop, presenting a prompt inspired by their own preoccupations, passions, or interests. It has been an adventure, and we are continually inspired by the creative concentration of participants, and the powerful beginnings the workshop generates.

This month's leader:

Sarah Rizzuto holds a Masters in English as well as a Master of Fine Arts in poetry from Southern Connecticut State University. She has also taught Disability Studies, a course she developed through Women and Gender Studies at SCSU. Sarah is the former president of the CT Poetry Society’s New Haven chapter. She’s been published in Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature as well as Kaleidoscope magazine. Sarah hopes to publish her first chapbook soon, which honors her father’s life. Along with being a poet, she considers herself an advocate for social justice.
