It is now springtime 2016 in the Pacific Northwest. The birds are chirping, the trees are blooming…and the militias have gone home.

The level of ignorance we have all become accustomed to putting up with makes me want to hide under a rock.

Connected to neither birds, nor trees, nor ahistorical misinterpretations of states rights, I will be teaching two writing workshops. One will be in Seattle and one will be in Portland and they are both in April. The first one is in Seattle at Hugo House on April 9th and 10th and we will be talking about creating new worlds. Click this link for information: https://hugohouse.org/store/class/new-worlds-vanessa-veselka/

planets being born, very hopeful

The second workshop is April 23rd and 24th in Portland. I am very excited to be co-teaching with my lit sister, Lidia Yuknavitch.

Our workshop is on…Cash and Class and writing America. It will fill quickly so don’t procrastinate if you’re interested. There are scholarships available. Sign up or read more about it here: http://www.corporealwriting.com/in-partnership-with/

Yes, there is  too a class system in America….

More in summer, when all things will be different again. Including the layout of this page, my mind, and the world.
