Let’s start with the most obvious question. What even is a lyrical essay? 

We’ve likely heard some of the names: hermit crab, collage, braided, flash. But what about abecedarian, diptych, tryptic, or mosaic? Are all narrative essays lyrical? Is all creative non-fiction lyrical by nature? Does any of it really matter? 

Join Sonya in this two-hour workshop where she answers these questions and more. Come to learn and leave inspired to write. 

What participants can Expect:  

• A link to four lyrical essays to read prior to the workshop 

• One two hour zoom call with Sonya and fellow participants
