Workshop | Write Now! A Writer's Collective


Write Now! A Writer's Collective is a monthly virtual workshop designed to create a space to write and think creatively.

The point is to generate a piece of writing in the space of the workshop and encourage others’ to do the same. The aim is to make a welcoming and generative community for writers in New York and beyond, and to foster an ongoing creative practice. The guest this month will be Ari Satok, who will present a variety of poetic exercises and lead participants to reflect on what lessons, personal and collective, they’ve been learning from this unprecedented moment of the COVID-19 pandemic. He will also talk about his book Love Too Can Spread: Poetry From the Midst of a Pandemic, a collection of poems all about the pandemic.

Author Reading | Lost & Found: A Memoir from Pulitzer Winner Kathryn Schulz (online)


Eighteen months before Kathryn Schulz’s beloved father died, she met the woman she would marry. In her new book, she weaves the stories of those relationships into a brilliant exploration of how all our lives are shaped by loss and discovery—from the maddening disappearance of everyday objects to the sweeping devastations of war, pandemic, and natural disaster; from finding new planets to falling in love. A staff writer at The New Yorker and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Kathryn Schulz writes with curiosity, tenderness, erudition, and wit about our finite yet infinitely complicated lives. Crafted with the emotional clarity of C. S. Lewis and the intellectual force of Susan Sontag, Lost & Found is an uncommon book about common experiences.

Author Reading | The Topography of Wellness: Health and the American Urban Landscape (online)


Sara Jensen Carr, assistant professor at Northeastern University, examines landscape responses to six historical urban epidemics and the implication for current and future practice. Beginning in the Industrial Revolution, Carr narrates an ever-changing relationship to wellness and our environments with the epidemiology of disease, from the infectious diseases of cholera and tuberculosis, the so-called social diseases, and the complex origins of today’s chronic illnesses. Each illness and its subsequent remedying have left their indelible mark on our surroundings and these extensive environmental changes often came with significant social and physical consequences – including inadvertently fostering future epidemics.

Talk | Artist Talk: Bridging Photography, Prints and Collage (online)


Ellen Jantzen was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri. She doesn't consider herself a "photographer" but rather an image-maker, creating work that bridges the world of photography, prints and collage. As digital cameras began producing excellent resolution, she found her perfect medium. A true confluence of technical advancements and creative desire culminates in her current explorations of photo-inspired art, using a camera to capture imagery and a computer to alter, combine and manipulate the pieces, best described as "photomontages," are shown and published internationally.
