What would a map of your inner world look like?
Which locales would feature deeply personal shrines? Which streets or train lines would have “DANGER” written in the footnotes? Are there any uncharted or forbidden territories?
In Emotional Cartography, we’ll borrow the tools of mapmakers, explorers, and travel guides to chart our own territories of memory & transformation. Expect unusual prompts, creative map-making (on actual paper! with legends!), and plenty of opportunities to turn personal landscapes into compelling writing.
This creative writing studio is led by Joy Waller, co-founder of Moon Hotel Press, co-host of Drunk Poets See God, editor at Tokyo Poetry Journal, and co-founder of Urban Writing Haus creative writing workshops. Author of poetry collections Pause :: Heartbeat and Cosmic Nervosa. joywaller.com
