Underground Writing
I'm honored to be one of the original teaching-writers of Underground Writing, a separate organization founded by Matt Malyon here in Washington's Skagit Valley.
We believe some of the best writing comes from society's underground places . . . and from the deepest, hidden parts of ourselves.
Underground Writing is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization.
Underground Writing is a literature-based creative writing program serving migrant, incarcerated, recovery, and other at-risk communities in northern Washington through literacy and personal transformation.
Underground Writing facilitates generative readings of literature spanning the tradition—from ancient texts to those written in our workshops. Honoring the transforming power of the word, we believe that attentive reading leads to attentive writing, and that attentive writing has the power to assist in the restoration of communities, the imagination, and individual lives.
