In this final ONLINE workshop of the Certificate in Poetry program, the student will concentrate on the design of a publishable manuscript. The student will continue workshopping poems, reading and analyzing books of poetry, providing valuable comment and feedback on each other’s manuscripts. Further, the student will discover publishing sources for individual poems and contests for chapbook and complete book manuscripts, the necessary recordkeeping for this endeavor, and practice how to give a professional poetry reading. For students not ready to compile a manuscript, each class also includes a writing prompt, short lesson or introduction to a poet, and a read & critique session. Each participant will choose one poetry craft book and submit by week 5, a one to two page analysis of the book. Poem prompts will be given each week with the anticipation that the participants will generate new work. Students will prepare a number of copies of their completed manuscript for distribution to the other students at the end of class three. Participants are expected to actively participate in the read and critique portions of the workshop for both individual poems and manuscripts. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

Come celebrate the special 30th anniversary screening of "Clueless" with the film’s iconic costume designer Mona May. May will discuss her new book, "The Fashion of Clueless," with "Breaking Into New Hollywood" co-author Ada Tseng during a post-screening Q&A. A book signing will follow. Synopsis: "Clueless" is a coming-of-age teen comedy that is loosely based on Jane Austen’s 1815 novel "Emma," with a modern-day setting of Beverly Hills. The plot centers on Cher Horowitz, a beautiful, clever and rich high school student who befriends a new student named Tai Frasier and decides to give her a makeover. Ever since hitting screens in 1995, "Clueless" has reigned as one of the most inspirational fashion films of all time. From Cher’s sunny yellow plaid Jean Paul Gaultier skirt suit to her sleek, fitted red Alaïa dress, every outfit defined a teen who revered fashion as much as her friendships. Add to that BFF Dionne’s legendary head-to-toe looks and a few magical makeovers, and "Clueless" was cemented as a classic film with incredible clothes at its core. About Mona May: Mona May is the visionary costume designer who redefined fashion in film with the release of "Clueless."

Mona has created some of the most memorable looks in modern cinema and television, shaping characters that have become icons of pop culture. Her fearless designs can be seen in beloved films such as "Enchanted," "Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion," "Never Been Kissed," "The House Bunny," "The Wedding Singer," and many more. About "The Fashion of Clueless": Version 1.0.0 Published by Insight Editions to celebrate the film’s three-decade legacy, "The Fashion of Clueless" features exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, costume sketches, and new interviews with key cast and creatives, including Alicia Silverstone and director Amy Heckerling. Whether sourcing vintage finds or pulling from Paris runways, May’s work brought a new level of glamour and individuality to the teen comedy — and set a new standard for fashion in film. "The Fashion of Clueless" helps readers channel their own “main character energy,” making it a must-have for fashion lovers, movie buffs, and "Clueless" superfans alike.
