LXCL:Where Memory Catches Fire: A Lyrical Séance ----------------------------------------------------------- In many ways, the lyrical essay is a séance on the page. While traditional memoir often relies on the sturdy architecture of "what happened," the lyrical essay is interested in what remains—the ghost of experience, the echoes of time and place, and the persistence of an image that won't let go. In this workshop, we will treat the page as an altar and the line as an incantation– a wish, a spell, a prayer. Our goal is to move from telling to showing using the rhythms, fragmentations, and sensory musings of lyrical forms to conjure a truth that traditional prose alone cannot reach. -------------------------------------------------------- Jennifer Rieger is a public educator and college professor in the Philadelphia area.

LXCL:The Creative Notebook: How to Get Unstuck, Break Through Blocks, and Take Your Writing to the Next Level (A Multi-Genre Workshop) --------------------------------------------------------- The writer and artist Melissa Sweet advises writers: “Go out and play!” How do we reclaim that sense of play in our work? How do we access new ideas and make our work feel alive? This class will show how a fresh, blank notebook can serve as a life-changing creative space: a place that can generate ideas for fiction, memoir, essays, poetry, and articles; a place where we can dive more deeply into our work; and a place where we can break rules. Every day, we will do writing and creativity exercises, and read poetry and prose for inspiration. Weather permitting, the class will take place partly outdoors; we’ll discuss how writing in nature can inspire ideas and help us revise. The class will also include advice on submitting our work for publication, navigating the process of finding an agent, and strategies to manage interruptions and get our creative work completed. ------------------------------------------------------ Margo Rabb’s essays, journalism, book reviews, and short stories have been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Smithsonian Magazine, Slate, Salon, The Rumpus, Zoetrope: All-Story, Best New American Voices, New Stories from the South, One Story, Poets &amp; Writers, and Marie Claire, and have been broadcast on NPR.

LXCL:The Poet’s Toolbox for Writers of All Genres&nbsp; ----------------------------------------------------------What is a prose poem?&nbsp; A flash CNF piece?&nbsp; Poetic prose?&nbsp; Who cares? Should you care?&nbsp;Rita Dove, a former U.S. Poet Laureate defines poetry this way:&nbsp; “Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Emily Dickinson said “If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.”&nbsp; In this workshop we’ll look at your writing with poetry eyes and ears, approaching your drafts using the poet’s favored tools of concision and precision of language, musicality of language and vividness of description, or as I like to say, painting and collaging with words. Come spend a weekend creating and revising pieces that would blow the lid off of Emily Dickinson.&nbsp;&nbsp; Poets and prose writers welcomed!&nbsp; Plentiful prompts provided.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ---------------------------------------------------------------- Liz Abrams-Morley’s newest collection (including many prose poems!) is due out from Seven Kitchen’s Press in 2026, having been named “Editor’s Prize” in the 2025 Keystone Poetry Contest.&nbsp; Because Time was published in 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Other collections include Beholder, 2018, Inventory, 2014 and Necessary Turns, 2010, winner of an Eric Hoffer Award for Excellence in Small Press Publishing.&nbsp; She was named Passager Journal’s&nbsp; Passager Poet in 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Liz’s poems and her stories have appeared in nationally distributed anthologies, journals, and have been read on NPR.

LXCL:Going the Distance: From Chapter One to “The End”&nbsp; ----------------------------------------------------------- “It is a truth universally acknowledged that starting a novel seems easy enough but finishing a novel is hard as hell.” &nbsp;&nbsp;Jane Austen didn’t say that. But she and other authors have long grappled with the problem of taking initial inspiration through the marathon process of realizing a finished work.&nbsp;&nbsp;This workshop, which welcomes novel writers of all levels and genres, will address key issues that must be confronted if you are going to go the distance. These issues include the question of finding a shape for your story; how to treat plot and character not as distinct problems in a narrative but as interdependent and generative features; and how to avoid common pitfalls when writing about family, morality, faith, or sex.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We’ll also consider the nuts and bolts of writing dialogue and how to represent internal thought. There’s a lot to unpack when considering successful prose, and we will take the time to do so, piece by piece.&nbsp;&nbsp;Participants will be encouraged to bring short samples of work from home, and also to do writing exercises during the week. I’ll also supply reading materials from eminent writers to illustrate key issues. Ideally you will go home with practical revisions, new material, and a firmer understanding of what it takes to reach “The End.”&nbsp;&nbsp;In this workshop, we will generate new writing through guided exercises and prompts; offer feedback/first impressions on writing you produce in our week; workshop writing you bring from home.&nbsp; ----------------------------------------------------------- Word Count Limit for Creative Submissions: 2,500-5,000 words (including one-page synopsis) - Due July 1, 2026 ---------------------------------------------------------- Charles Holdefer is a writer based in Brussels, Belgium.

The Creative Writing Retreat offers either a weekend, a weeklong, or combination session featuring workshops run by award winning writers and student-focused teachers. The program includes time to write, craft lectures, and panels. Workshops will be limited to no more than 10 participants, ensuring that each author will have plenty of critique time. Nightly faculty readings, publishing related panels and receptions, along with an open mic, will offer plenty of networking opportunities, but the emphasis will be on immersing oneself in the writing life and one’s own work.<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px 10px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:1.5;max-width:100%">Housing is available on campus in Connelly Hall, which has suite-style room accommodations and several communal baths per suite. Each attendee will have a private bedroom unless you’d like to share a room with another attendee. (Email Carla Spataro cspataro@rosemont.edu for special pricing). Attendees will need to bring their own sheets and towels. All meals are provided during the weekend portion of the retreat. During the week, a welcome and farewell dinner will be provided along with breakfast and lunch each day. Snacks and beverages are provided in the evening during readings and panels. Dinner is on your own. Coffee, Tea and snacks are available 24/7.<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px 10px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:1.5;max-width:100%">Rosemont Alumni are eligible for a 15% discount.
