January ISL Reg closes in
🚨TWO DAYS!🚨

Hello friend,

Welcome to our new ISL Newsletter format! We're excited to use this platform to let you know about ISL sessions & registration info, merch drops, and other ISL workshops and events.
​
​January ISL registration is almost at its close - and spots are nearly filled! Perhaps that’s because of the singular community we’re going to build together. Perhaps it’s because of the juicy daily prompts that alums continue to email us about (for real!) months after last session. Perhaps it’s because this season we have the incredible Clint Smith, Molly Pershin Raynor, and Cameron Awkward-Rich joining in as Visiting Artists. Or maybe all of the above.

This January, for the first time ever, we’re opening up an exclusive Visiting Artist call to the public with the one and only Naima Green! This means that even if you don’t sign up for ISL this January, you can get a taste of what we’re up to by enrolling in Naima’s exclusive ekphrasis workshop on January 15th:​
​

Not only is this workshop novel for its accessibility, it is also the first time we're doing a generative workshop for a Visiting Artist call. At ISL we celebrate the intersections of all creative modalities, and we're so excited to bring the visual to the forefront for Naima's call!

✨✨ With all this magic going on, January ISL is going to be an incredible way to creatively jumpstart the New Year! Will you join us?

BEHOLD!

The cutest ISL team rocking our most recent "I Would Rather Be In Surreal Life" sweatshirts!

​
We are so grateful for the enthusiasm for this run of merch! If you're on Instagram, tag us @insurreallife to show us how you're styling yours (and stay tuned for future merch drops!).

We hope you'll come be where poetry is for ALL OF US this January, in deep, caring, creative community with people who get it.

Registration closes at 11:59PM on December 20th, so get in there!
