story booth is proud to host its first incarnation of adult literary programming, three one-day workshops offered by University of Memphis MFA candidates and editors of The Pinch Literary Journal.
From The Pinch:
If you are a fan of the Pinch, you know that we pride ourselves on selecting and publishing diverse poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction. We are also a hardworking staff of graduate students in the English Department at the University of Memphis. We take and teach classes in creative writing at the university and we work hard for the Pinch. We write, we publish, we are the people we want to see in literary journals. We’d like to share some of that experience with the creative community in Memphis. We’ve got a plan. It’s a good one. Won’t you join us?
Cost to Attend:
One Workshop: $25
Two Workshops: $40
Three Workshops: $65
Artist Naima Peace’s Product of Pac exhibition features multimedia works, each inspired by a poem from the collection, The Rose That Grew From Concrete, by Tupac Shakur.
Naima reflects on Shakur’s legacy, examining the impact his words and activism still have on people — even almost 20 years after his death.
