Step 2: Register for “Writing to Remember: An Introduction to Flash Prose” here.

Flash prose, whether fictional or non-fictional, is characterized by its capacity to tell an unforgettable story in very few words. In this workshop, we will approach flash prose as a self-contained window onto socio-historical processes that emerge from our most specific lived experiences and in particular, memories. We will gather tools from poetry, political organizing, and how memory itself works to write a flash prose piece that sheds critical light on systemic forces through autobiographical examples.
