Rave Reviews for Quesada's Workshops

Our Attic Fellow Ruben Quesada keeps getting rave reviews on his poetry workshops:

"Ruben Quesada has an eloquence in teaching that is unmatched in many disciplines. I feel like I received more attentiveness and inspiration in this ten hour workshop than I have in a semester of college writing courses. He also has a way of delivering information in such an organized and concise manner, which can be difficult to master in an online format. Not only did he give a lot of exposure to a variety of poetry, but he fostered a successful environment for sharing our personal writing from the prompts he gave us. He clearly has the gift of knowledge transfer and gave me a lot of tools and resources to extend my learning beyond this course. Thanks for an awesome and memorable experience!" -Jacklynn

A Statement of Our Values

The Attic Institute of Arts and Letters opposes the legitimation of bigotry, hate, and misinformation. As a studio for writers, we do not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. We embrace and celebrate our shared pursuit of literature and languages as essential to crossing the boundaries of difference. To that end, we seek to maintain a creative environment in which every employee, faculty member, and student feels safe, respected, and comfortable — even while acknowledging that poems, stories, and essays delve into uncomfortable subjects. We accept the workshop as a place to question ourselves and to empathize with complex identities. We understand that to know the world is to write the world. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to literary pursuits and shared understanding by affirming diversity and open inquiry.
