I just got home from UC San Diego, where I taught Week One of Clarion Workshop 2023. Based on this group, I'd say the future of the field is in good hands.

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on? Online platforms come and go, but the singular Alaya Dawn Johnson is only the Clarion Workshop Week 2 instructor for a brief time—and you don't want to miss the chance to see her read this Wednesday, July 5, at Mysterious Galaxy! mystgalaxy.com/event/Clarion2…
