Samuel R. Delany (placeholder)

Samuel Delany held a small creative writing workshop at Allegheny College, my sophomore or junior year there.

Though I’m not a serious writer, I jumped at the chance to attend, since he was one of my favorite writers. The workshop itself was interesting; he gave a lot of helpful (and commonsense) pointers. Afterwards, I drove him back to the airport; we mostly talked about the philosophy of language on the way back.
