| Description |
 Instructor Tatyana Mishel leads workshop participants to look at two types of literature and weave them together. First, we'll look at the beauty found inside the language of science (even if we don't understand it); then, read poetry that incorporates math and science. Imagine using the following terms in a love poem wave-particle-duality, the uncertainty principle, and the big bang. Students will use writing exercises to learn the thrill of using unfamiliar terms, to use terms out of context and see what random and mysterious work they produce.
Max number participants: 15
Tatyana Mishel's teaching philosophy emphasizes urprise, risk, and keeping the creative muscle in shape. Class time is a laboratory of exploration, discussion, and writing. Writers are given a variety of strategies and back-pocket tricks and tools they can take into their lives. One of the goals is to show how possible it is to sit down anytime and write something. Her poems and interviews have recently been published in CALYX, Swivel, KNOCK, Cranky Literary Journal, In Posse Review, Seattle P.I., Zinkville, with more forthcoming. Tatyana received her MFA from Antioch University in Fiction and Poetry. A former editor of ELLE magazine, today one of her jobs is as a technical writer for an internet company.
