Baseball Writing Workshop: Register Now

Cubbie Blues editor Donald G. Evans is teaching a baseball writing workshop at Loyola's Continuum program (their downtown campus, around Pearson and Wabash). It will be a small group interested in creating baseball literature, and the six sessions will focus on the examination and dissection of classic baseball literature in relation to students' own work. We'll discuss the craft of integrating baseball themes into stories, poems, plays (or whatever form the various projects take), as well as what distinguishes a piece as fine literature (versus some of the more disposable writing on baseball.) Don hopes to create a fun atmosphere where the class can talk about great baseball stories (such as Stuart Dybek's "Death of a Right Fielder") and elevate projects to publishable quality. The class will meet from 6-8 p.m. every Thursday night from March 18 through April 29, excluding April 1. Register today. Visit www.LUC.edu/continuum.

Sign the Petition!

Holy Cow! Can't Miss Press is a proud sponsor of The Common Fan Sings, a grassroots effort launched by Dave Cihla (co-creator of the Shawon-O-Meter) to let a regular Cubs fan sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley Field. Sign the petition to let Dave and other deserving Cubs fans carry on the tradition started by Harry Caray. Then view the video of Dave and some of his supporters singing "Happy Birthday" to Shawon at the Shawon-O-MeetUp at Murphy's Bleachers.
