What if your body could tell the future?
For centuries, people have looked to hands, eyes, bones, stars, Tarot cards, and other strange signs for glimpses of what lies hidden.
In this studio, we’ll take inspiration from ancient and traditional forms of divination to turn the human body into an oracle. Through a series of imaginative writing prompts, we’ll invent new ways of reading palms, scars, teeth, bones, and other parts of ourselves — and see what the body might reveal when we stop taking its usual meanings for granted.
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
