A Note From Adriana

I’ve invented some experiments for you that encourage play and surprise, sopratutto. I want us to remember that writing is ​“memorable, muscular, living, felt,” and, if we’re lucky, it will leave us ​“differently alive and forever changed,” in the words of Carl Phillips. There will be time to wander, write, draw, collect, share, and likely explode in laughter and awe at killer one-liners!
