SUMMARY:ENTROPY Workshop with L Scully
DESCRIPTION:ENTROPY is a five week\, virtual\, generative writing workshop hosted by L Scully (Nonfiction\, January 2023).  \n\n\n\nWe are living in a conundrum of degradation. Our bodies age\, the State is falling\, disorder(s) run rampant in our minds. God feels random and chaos feels inevitable. There is no choice but to write toward uncertainty. Cope\, world-build\, freak out\, investigate together.  \n\n\n\nThe structure of this workshop is a weekly meeting of two hours and includes two separate section groups to accommodate scheduling. Each week we will produce the beginnings of 2+ new pieces of writing based on original prompts provided by L live and in session. There is also opportunity to share our collective woes\, check in\, and meet writing partners. One piece of your choice will be critiqued by the group in a supportive and curious environment. We welcome new and seasoned writers alike\, as well as anyone who wants to get into a regular and dedicated creative practice. Classes will be held over GoogleMeet. \n\n\n\nSuggested sliding scale is $150-250 for the five week course. If the proposed payment scale is not reasonable for your situation\, please email L to work something out at leighahscully@gmail.com. They would love to work with you. \n\n\n\nSection A: Sundays Sept. 29 – Nov. 32-4pm EST (no class 10/13\, lesbian wedding)Section B: Wednesdays Oct. 3 – Oct. 306-8pm EST

SUMMARY:Author Night with Megan Doney & Chanlee Luu
DESCRIPTION:Join Blacksburg Books as they host Megan Doney (WFYP\, June 2008) and Chanlee Luu\, winners of the Washington Writers Publishing House Prize in nonfiction and poetry\, respectively. The authors will read from their books as well as talk about the writing process and getting published with a small press. \n\n\n\nMegan Doney – Unarmed: An American Educator’s Memoir \n\n\n\nAfter surviving a school shooting at New River Community College in Christiansburg\, Virginia\, English professor Megan Doney was traumatized and adrift. Rather than hardening her heart and life\, she wrote Unarmed: An American Educator’s Memoir. An insightful response to American gun violence and illusions of public and private safety\, it’s also about her journey over the past decade toward living with an open heart\, alive to luck\, learning\, and love. \n\n\n\nChanlee Luu – The Machine Autocorrects Code to I \n\n\n\nA knock-out debut that erases the boundaries of time and geography with unrestrained wit\, The Machine Autocorrects Code to I holds its subjects – family members at odds with their hopes and fears\, various fruits and animals constrained by the laws of humans\, and an alien seeking beauty in the world – with tenderness and wry knowledge of the fragile systems that hold their world in place. This universe of poems wanders through the messy past\, battles in the charged present\, and dreams/nightmares to the unknown future. In this experiment in forms\, Chanlee Luu is a mad scientist\, cracking Asian jokes\, shoveling golden sand\, and coding her voice to vitality.
