SUMMARY:CCW Presents: The Extraordinary Orbit of Alex Ramirez by Jasminne Paulino Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us to help launch Jasminne Paulino’s (WFYP\, June 2023) debut novel in verse\, The Extraordinary Orbit of Alex Ramirez. Jasminne will be in conversation with fellow WFYP alum Kate Fussner (June 2021) for this virtual event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeventh grader Alex’s favorite things to do are watching YouTube videos of rocket launches with his Papi and spending hours on the NASA website reading about astronauts and planets. He even dreams of going to space one day himself\, and knows he’ll have to study hard in order to get there. \n\n\n\nBut Alex is in his grade’s SC (self-contained) classroom\, which means doing the same dull worksheets every day and reading books his sister read back in the third grade. Worst of all\, being in SC means nobody thinks he’s ready to join Ms. Rosef’s mainstream science class—the class Alex knows will be the first step on his path to NASA. \n\n\n\nWhen his teacher says “not yet” for the millionth time\, Alex decides it’s time to make a change. Now he’s ready to try everything he can to get the people in his life—his teachers\, his parents\, and the kids at school—to understand that he\, Alex Ramirez\, is capable of the extraordinary.

SUMMARY:Heat\, Honey\, Smoke - A Sexual Impressionism Workshop with Celeste Mohammed
DESCRIPTION:Here\, in the intimate tradition of the botánica\, where candles cast passionate shadows and smoke coils from brass bowls\, this generative workshop\, led by Celeste Mohammed (Fiction\, June 2016) invites writers to regard the literary sex scene as something more than performance. Wielding pen as brush\, you will apply the techniques of the art world to capture impressions of sensuality that feel emotionally true and spiritually resonant. Here\, sensuality is not a spectacle\, but a residue\, felt in breath\, in pause\, in what’s left unsaid. Writers will experiment with language that conjures rather than declares\, gesture over anatomy\, feeling over form. Together\, you’ll write toward the charged space between the lines–toward the heat\, the honey\, the smoke.
