Commonplace

"Commonplaces are a way to compile knowledge, usually by writing information into books. Such books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas. Commonplaces are used by readers, writers, students, and scholars as an aid for remembering useful concepts or facts they have learned. Each commonplace book is unique to its creator's particular interests." -Wikipedia-

Graduate Eric Larson and current CWLA writers Bree Kessler and Mary Kudenov have teamed up to offer a free workshop on urban writing on Nov. 8 at the Wolf Den in the UAA Student Center. The session begins at 9 a.m. with a breakfast panel about Mountain View and a literary reading from Mary. The interactive writing workshop starts at 10:30 with a lunch break at noon.

The workshop is the first effort of the Anchorage Neighborhood Writing Project (ANWP) and is part of ENGAGE Week: Urban in Alaska sponsored by the UAA Center for Community Engagement and Learning (CCEL).  According to Eric's blog post on 49 Writers:
We are looking for collaborators across mediums to build a compendium ofAnchorage lore.  We are looking for writing, photography, mapping, drawing, painting, and other modes of art.  The long-term goal of ANWP is to combine writing and other media into a community atlas that tells the stories of how we live in Anchorage. 
These three organizers have particular interests and expertise that make them uniquely qualified for this community project. Check out Eric's post for further detailed information about the workshop and about their backgrounds.
