A Book of Hours Workshop w Wendy Willis | Jan - Oct 2025 | Zoom

The novelist, poet, and Substack genius Jeannine Ouelette recently wrote "pay close attention to the world. If you do this consistently and record your observations meticulously, your writing will explode with a realness and a vividness you cannot achieve any other way." This loosely connective generative workshop taps into the hours and the seasons that prod--demand?--us to attend to the moments that otherwise might slip by. 

You can take one, two, three, or all four workshops that will both leave you with your own book--or books--of hours and vivify and deepen your other writing. 

All genres encouraged and welcome.

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.
