From Jared Leising:

Hi, I’m writing to let you know about a great series of adult writing classes happening at 826 Seattle starting in March.
Whether you’re interested in memoir, fiction, comics, music, or poetry–we’ve got it all.
The teachers include:  Lauren Weedman, Jess Walter, Myla Goldberg, Keef Knight, John Roderick, and Gary Copeland Lilley, among others.
And I’ll be there, hosting most of these, and thought you’d be interested in attending, or buying your friend a ticket to meet her favorite writer.
All proceeds go to support the free youth writing and tutoring programs and publications of 826 Seattle www.826seattle.org.
To learn more, and to buy tickets, please visit  http://www.826seattle.org/writelikeido/.
Thanks for reading and hope to see you at 826.
Cheers,
Jared

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

When I said that what’s good for general society is also good for poets, I’m talking about a series of cultural opportunities where a much wider stretch of people are allowed to take the opportunity to become writers. I came back from a conference last week where I presented some research on the demographic aspects of the New American poets. The poets that were born and came to maturity in the early to mid-20th century were beneficiaries of broad national scale longevity gains. This [includes] things like pushbacks against tuberculosis, against polio, against poor nutrition and infant mortality. These are gains that were made by the medical and scientific institutions, but also by general prosperity, by making more food available to more people and making that food shelf stable for longer. So, when you talk about what might make it possible for poor people to do more creative work, you could start by saying well we should just give people more money, but the fact of the matter is that plenty of people already have the wealth they need, they just don’t actually have any time.
