Event poster with a lined-paper background, a portrait of Winston Le--seated--and coloured blocks highlighting key text. RCLAS Writing Workshop "to construe a frankenlang" with Winston Lê Date: Monday MARCH 9, 2026 Time: 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm Location: ANVIL CENTRE | STUDIO 417, 777 Columbia Street, New Westminster. This workshop is Free BUT registration is required. Email secretary@rclas.com Workshop Description: A neologism is a new word or expression, or a new meaning for an existing word. Through this “coinage,” we’ll explore versatility and dynamic innovation of language-making. In this workshop, we will explore how morphology (texture, sound, shape), semiotics (sign-making, interpretation), and re-materiality (physical body/vessel to embody the neologism) can reshape and enhance and expand our lexical innovation onto our babbling world. This will be a workshop on innovative linguistic processes that will lead to the creation of a poem based on your newly-created word. This class will be both lecture and workshop base. We will begin by discussing the varying definitions and elements that make up a neologism, as well as how one might experiment with the concept further... Through three linked generative writing exercises, we will explore a “exquisite corpse” approach in writing a poem based on a neologism and by doing so, destabilize and decolonize the nature of the poem and language itself. We’re going to have fun stitching up some linguistic body horror!"
