Westminster College will host a free community workshop series on the lyric essay instructed by Andrea Hollander Budy as part of the Anne Newman Sutton Weeks Poetry Series on January 11 through April 26, 2010, at 4:30 p.m. Applications are due by October 15, 2009.

Not quite a poem—not quite an essay— or both a poem and an essay? The lyric essay combines elements of both genres. The workshops will attempt to help participants define the genre for themselves, not only by reading essays and by learning what others have to say about the craft, but also by creating their own lyric essays.

The workshop instructor, Andrea Hollander Budy, is the author of three books of poems: Woman in the Painting, The Other Life and House Without a Dreamer, which won the Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize. Other honors include two poetry fellowships: the National Endowment for the Arts and the Subiaco Award for Literary Merit for Excellence in the Writing and Teaching of Poetry. For the past 17 years, she has been the Writer-in-Residence at Lyon College where she was awarded the Lamar Williamson Prize for Excellence in Teaching.

 

To be considered for participation in this free workshop, please mail a nonfiction writing sample of up to 20 pages and contact information (phone, email, address) to Natasha Sajé, English Department, Westminster College, 1840 South 1300 East, Salt Lake City, UT, 84105 by October 15, 2009. Participants will be notified by December 1.
