Reading Elizabeth Bishop with Lisa Goldfarb

Brazil, where she lived for twenty years, was home away from home for her, as was Key West, for a shorter period. New York City, and Paris, too, figure into her poetic geography.  The...

    Mind expanding, extremely constructive, inspiring, I learnt more than I expected and had a wonderful experience. Alana is a truly great teacher an well rounded in her approach to constructive criticism and encouragement. Highly, highly recommend.
  • Creative Nonfiction 101 Level 1: 6 Weeks

    Reviewed by Jessica M. on 8/14/2018
    I really enjoyed the class. The instructor was engaging and even her focus of what she tends to write about happened to be very in line with my own. In the future I would probably want to take a longer course that was more focused on a specific project, whereas this was separate lessons (like a series as opposed to a serial). Not a complaint as that is part of the class description and probably exactly what I needed this time, a good chance to dip my feet in, in a supportive environment. I would gladly take more classes from Gotham and from the instructor.

    It was a truly amazing class and I'm so glad I took a leap of faith and signed up for it. Scott Hunter was a great instructor, extremely friendly, accommodating and always allowed the conversations and discussion to flow smoothly in a manner that was informative, insightful, critical and encouraging.

    Reviewed by Tillie E. on 8/23/2017
    My professor was Janet Flora...She was great! Coming to class every week was a treat, and as our class dwindled to a consistent six, the learning transformed. It was like participating in a master class with one-on-one attention. With each assignment, it felt like it opened a side of me that I thought wasn't there. I plan on taking a couple more classes, and hope other instructors are as great as Janet.
