Writer’s Soul: Octavia Butler, The Oracular Role of Writing Into The Future
In This Class:
Octavia Butler teaches us how to write from inside the future without leaving the present behind. In this class we sit with her life and her work as a living practice of imagination, responsibility, and truth-telling. We pay attention to how she wrote herself into worlds that did not yet exist, how she held fear, power, collapse, and possibility in the same breath, and how her stories continue to speak long after they were written. Writing here becomes a form of listening forward, a way of placing the self inside collective becoming without losing the edges of what is real. This class meets writers who feel the pull to imagine differently and to write in service of what wants to live.
