However\, writing the uncanny can be an act of resilience and survival by the oppressed. Over the years\, I’ve noticed that my writing has benefited most from mentors who balance practicality with the stars. I longed for a class that would show me how to hew closer to human experience while keeping one eye on the ineffable. This class will explore the rigorous craft behind breaking the laws of physics in fiction and creative non-fiction.* I’ll share personal meters of classification and offer methods and tips on rendering the profound mundane. Writers will leave with prompts designed to move them into new parts of their creativity\, and a reading/film/art list to continue the learning. This is the craft class I wish I had when I was in my MFA. A nuts-and-bolts practical look into structure\, time\, and the uncanny. With a seat saved for humor\, sound\, and Cher.\"\n\nMarie-Helene Bertino is the author of the novels *Beautyland*\, *Parakeet* (NYTimes Editor's Choice) and *2 a.m. at The Cat's Pajamas*\, and the short story collection *Safe as Houses*.\n\nAwards include The O. Henry Prize\, The Pushcart Prize\, The Iowa Short Fiction Award\, The Mississippi Review Prize\, The Center for Fiction NYC Emerging Writers Fellowship and The Frank O'Connor International Short Story Fellowship in Cork\, Ireland.\n\nHer work has appeared in *The New York Times*\, *Tin House*\, *Electric Literature*\, *Granta*\, *Guernica*\, *BOMB*\, among many others. She is the recipient of fellowships from The MacDowell Colony\, Hedgebrook Writers Colony\, The Center for Fiction NYC\, and Sewanee Writers Conference\, where she was the Walter E. Dakin fellow.
