Just back from 12 days at the intensive Hamline University MFA in Writing for Children. My head might explode, in a good way. Whats it like there? We had guest lecturers: Matt de la Peña, Mary Logue, and Deborah Kovacs. Linda Sue Park gave our graduation speech. We had a night where we drank beer and read each other picture books. There was theatrical improv. And meditation. Grown men wept on several occasions, and sometimes grown women, too. Everyone showed slides of their pets. We discussed defamiliarization and microaggressions and white space in graphic novels and ways to use folk tales, research methods, and made dummies of picture books.
