DESCRIPTION:Life's odd\, freaky\, and downright embarrassing moments can be
  the hardest to write — and some of the best portals to creative truth. 
 (Did you know the original meaning of "weird" is "‘having the power to c
 ontrol destiny?") In this workshop\, participants will examine the functio
 n of strangeness in literary art and experiment with writing prompts that 
 let their inner weirdos shine. Kate Black's essays have been published in 
 The Globe and Mail\, The Walrus\, and The Toronto Star. In 2020\, she was 
 selected as one of Canada's top emerging voices in non-fiction by the RBC 
 Taylor Prize and the National Magazine Awards. Her non-fiction debut\, Big
  Mall\, was published by Coach House Books in 2024. Creative Writing Class
 es at VPL provide open\, friendly\, creative spaces for book lovers and as
 piring writers of all levels.\n\nCheck before you go: https://vpl.biblioco
