Leigh Gallagher is leading a new, virtual course this fall, an 8-week generative writing class called The Dowsing Rod, designed for anyone interested in narrative writing. Named for the folk tool used to detect underground water, this course encourages writing out of your deepest interests, intuitions, and experiences without expectation or predetermined goals. Class topics like “Regressing” and “The Human Triangle” aim to shake loose not just new ideas, but whole new approaches to the blank page. Description & registration here.
