Naropa Summer Writing Program, June 8-28, 2025, Boulder, CO

The Summer Writing Program at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics goes beyond the focus of craft approach, pushing participants to bend genres, take risks, and enliven the creative writing process. In a creative writing program that is a “Golden Standard of it’s kind” (NEA grant committee) students, poets, fiction writers, musicians, editors, translators, Buddhist teachers, performance artists, and more meet for three transformative weeks on Naropa University’s campus in Boulder, Colorado. Here, we invoke and continue the “Outrider” lineage — a legacy of revolutionary scholarship and counter-poetics that is an ongoing experiment in creative freedom. Whether your medium is poetry, fiction, experimental theater, or a combination of genres, Summer Writing Program will help you flush with creative truth-seeking to refine/find what is at the heArt of your craft. Change the composition of your summer, your work, and your life.
