Writers' Lunch with Susie Hara
An introduction to "Kinetic Writing"

Susie Hara will introduce you to Kinetic Writing--a technique for enlivening your writing process with strategies for tapping into the body's sensory know-how. She'll share a couple of writing exercises--so come prepared to do some writing during Writers' Lunch--bring a notebook!

Photograph of Susie HaraSusie Hara's novel, Finder of Lost Objects, (Ithuriel's Spear Press), was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award and received an International Latino Book Award. Michelle Richmond called it "a smart detective story, a meditation on romantic and familial love, and a celebration of the lesser-known corners of the author's city, San Francisco." Before turning her hand to fiction, Hara was a dancer, actor, and playwright, and she performed with Word for Word as well as at The Marsh and Z Space. She teaches at The Writing Salon in Berkeley.
