What is urgent enough to write during a mass extinction event? In this workshop, Asali will grapple with the pressing question of what to write when each day brings the loss of more habitable land and the world we've known all of our lives appears to be ending. At this moment when literature both seems to be superfluous and more crucial than ever we will discuss philosophical and practical approaches to the blank page, drawing on examples from contemporary and classic literature of writers of color addressing the whirlwind. Participants will leave with ideas for chronicling this dying world and using words to create new ones.

Cost: $100
