Penning the Unmappable with Brian Wood-Koiwa

¥4,000

What if a street looks different every time you walk it? Ever wonder why a certain building doesn’t fit in with its neighbours?

Through guided exercises, discussion, and solo writing sessions, we'll explore how we can use spatial disorientation as a literary space for you and your reader to inhabit … willingly or unwillingly. You'll practice how to build spaces that disorient and unnerve and write places that resist the logic of maps both physical and your mind’s. The only thing required is the eagerness to get a little lost.

This creative writing studio is led by Brian Wood-Koiwa, co-founder of Urban Writing Haus creative writing studios; author of the UrbanWeird serial novels Flowers Wilt, Weeds Thrive and Conspiracy of False Citizens; and literary and technical editor and coach. He is also a photo walk guide here in Tokyo. urbanweird.com
