The Attic Experience

"I just wanted to share the wonderful experience I had in Ruben Quesada's class on Saturday. I really enjoyed his generative teaching style. I am reinvigorated to write more prose poetry and left with so much material to work from! I look forward to participating in future Attic Institute classes with Ruben! Thanks again for providing such a warm and inviting space!
