In this special Skirball writing workshop, we take our inspiration from Therman Statom’s installation of Glass Sukkah: This Home Is Not a House. Working with a variety of writing prompts for personal essay, fictional story, and poetry, we will explore our relationship to "home"—what the word means, what stories and poems emerge from our ideas, thoughts, and feelings about "home."
