Solstice: The difference between good and beautiful writing
Event description
ONLINE WORKSHOP
What’s the difference between good writing and beautiful writing?
What makes literature beautiful? Why do we seek beauty? Pulitzer-prize winning author, Marilynne Robinson, considers beauty to be a “conversation between humankind and reality”, to which we bring essential gifts, like “reflection and creation”. In this writing workshop, I draw on my two interviews with Marilynne Robinson to share with you what Robinson’s writing teacher taught her about beautiful writing and what she taught her students at Iowa Writers’ Workshop for 25 years. We will take time to put Robinson’s advice on aesthetics into practice so you will leave having made a start on your own beautiful writing.
