A multi-generational tale of tangled love, enduring friendship, and fundamental impermanence. Eric Puchner, Associate Professor in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences Writing Seminars program, will be joined in conversation by Gabriella Fee, current Moser Writer-in-Residence and graduate of the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars (MFA ’22). Together, they’ll explore the craft of the novel—from the precision of Puchner’s sentences to his handling of time, perspective, and emotion. The program will include brief readings, conversation, and time for audience Q&A.This special Hopkins at Home program is presented in partnership with the Moser Family Writing Series, launching in Fall 2025. The Moser Gift is a generous and inspiring investment in creative expression and lifelong learning at Johns Hopkins, made possible by Elizabeth Moser, A&S ’66 and includes a lineup of writing courses, field excursions, and virtual lectures offered alongside all our outstanding Odyssey creative writing courses. 2025 Oprah’s Book Club PickNew York Times Bestseller“Fresh, wise, funny, and compassionate…Cinematic from the outset, Dream State opens (just as if a circular lens were unscrewing) upon a beloved old family homestead, site of a doomed wedding—descriptions so warm and attentive, a reader can’t help falling in headfirst…a wonderful feast, and feat.”—The Boston GlobeCece is in love. She has arrived early at her future in-laws’ lake house in Salish, Montana, to finish planning her wedding to Charlie, a young doctor with a brilliant life ahead of him. Charlie has asked Garrett, his best friend from college, to officiate the ceremony, though Cece can’t imagine anyone more ill-suited for the task—an airport baggage handler haunted by a tragedy from his and Charlie’s shared past. But as Cece spends time with Garrett, his gruff mask slips, and she grows increasingly uncertain about her future. And why does Garrett, after meeting Cece, begin to feel, well, human again? As a contagious stomach flu threatens to scuttle the wedding, and Charlie and Garrett’s friendship is put to the ultimate test, Cece must decide between the life she’s dreamed of and a life she’s never imagined.The events of that summer have long-lasting repercussions, not only on the three friends caught in its shadow but also on their children, who struggle to escape their parents’ story. Spanning fifty years and set against the backdrop of a rapidly warming Montana, Dream State explores what it means to live with the mistakes of the past—both our own and the ones we’ve inherited. Written with humor, precision, and enormous heart, both a love letter and an elegy to the American West, Dream State is a thrillingly ambitious ode to the power of friendship, the weird weather of marriage, and the beauty of impermanence.

Join us from the comfort of your home while we explore the Cretaceous Crossroads with Museum of the Rockies’ talented staff! We will explore this time of transition, with a focus on three geologic formations in Montana that span the period from 72 to 82 million years ago. This large seaway, which bisected North America, was not only teeming with marine life; it also cultivated a rich habitat for plants and animals along its shores.As mosasaurs and other aquatic reptiles hunted beneath the waves, tyrannosaurs ascended to the top of the food chain on land, where they remained until the end of the Cretaceous, when the age of the dinosaurs drew to a close. This exhibit includes never-before-seen specimens that are not just new to Museum of the Rockies; they are new to science!The perspectives and opinions expressed by the speaker(s) during this program are those of the speaker(s) and not, necessarily, those of Johns Hopkins University.museum-of-the-rockies-virtual-pr

Renan Demirkan's Black Tea with Three Sugar Cubes (1991) looks at the experience of a woman who arrived in Germany in 1962 as a seven-year old from Turkey. It ends with the birth of her multi-ethnic child in an increasingly diverse Germany. Fatma Aydemir's Djinns (2023, the word means goblin) is less optimistic: Turning expectations and stereotypes of the immigrant experience on their side, Aydemir shows how we all grapple with power and beauty, the holes in our lives, and the demons that hover just out of sight.*Top Rated Instructor*Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

This six-week seminar explores how writers have imagined, embodied, and resisted time across centuries and genres. Moving from the industrial age’s “clock time” to the digital era’s dizzying acceleration, we’ll read fiction, poetry, and theory that challenge our assumptions about duration, progress, and the present. Authors such as Virginia Woolf, W.H. Auden, Édouard Glissant, Lucille Clifton, and Annie Ernaux reveal how power, gender, technology, and biology shape our temporal experience. Alongside thinkers from Marx to Foucault and Kristeva, we’ll consider how literature opens counter-cultural doorways into the lived texture of time—its loops, ruptures, and renewals. The course culminates in a creative workshop inviting participants to craft original works inspired by their own encounters with time.

We will consider the power of metaphor, allusion, and connotation as vehicles for expressing deeply held emotions. Funneling our most urgent concerns through the imaginative landscapes of pop culture, literature, nature, and history can allow us to speak without revealing intimate details of our lives. By engaging in a variety of generative experiments, we’ll embrace the use of metaphorical masks and mirrors, inviting different voices—different “selves”—into our work. We’ll push our “I” to be a flexible, shape-shifting “eye” capable of looking all around us.We will seek inspiration from acclaimed poets such as Ross Gay, Terrance Hayes, Jaswinder Bolina, Patricia Smith, Louise Glück, Elizabeth Bishop, Francine J. Harris, Mary Ruefle, Michael Dumanis, and David Berman.Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

Taking on a big project like this can be intimidating. This course will provide a framework to break this down into reasonable, and realistic steps to make writing and publishing a book an achievable goal. Learn the "anatomy" of a book, how to get your ideas organized, how to overcome writer's block, and self-publish on Amazon KDP: one of the biggest publishing platforms in the world.Note: This course is open to both non-fiction and fiction writers. Classes will be recorded as a courtesy for students.*Top Rated Instructor*Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey CatalogWhat Past Participants Are Saying...“In all honesty, I was not educated on the book world or author world but after taking your class, I felt beyond ready to release my first poetry book! You made the class simple and digestible really breaking down the ins and outs of being an author. From brainstorming to editing to marketing. I still to this day, review some of the notes from the sessions. I am extremely grateful there are people like you who want to help and want to give back. For those who take John’s class, really be intentional so you can get the most out of the experience!” "I recently attended John's webinar series on Writing and Publishing ... He is an inspiring instructor — organized, knowledgeable, and responsive. His teaching style is very hands-on, filled with valuable information and practical advice. The assignments he gave challenged us to apply the things we were learning. Before attending this course, I knew nothing about how to self-publish on Amazon. Thanks to his effort and encouragement, I'm now a published writer!" “I thought that John did a phenomenal job both in planning content and presenting the course. His significant resources were very helpful and I will continually refer to them as I move forward in writing my book. He is very knowledgeable, having written several books on diverse topics.” ________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

From Mussolini’s March on Rome to the passage of the racial laws, Fascism gradually dismantled liberty and transformed a liberal state into a totalitarian regime rivaled only by Hitler’s Germany.Through archival footage, film clips, and contemporary accounts, this course examines the forces that enabled Fascism’s rise, its consolidation of power, and its violent collapse. In an age witnessing new strains of authoritarianism, understanding Italy’s past offers crucial lessons on democracy’s fragility and resilience. Each session combines lecture and discussion; no prior background is required and suitable for all levels.*Top Rated Instructor*Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.

NA Odyssey January 31, January 31, SaturdayOdyssey, Moser, Creative Writing, The Many Voices of Louise Glück, Nathan Blansett, A&S ’21 (MFA), Louise GlückCourse Title: The Many Voices of Louise Glück Instructor: Nathan Blansett, A&S ’21 (MFA)Brought to you by Odyssey January 31 - March 7, 2026Saturdays, 3:00PM - 5:00PM ET (6 Sessions)Virtual via ZoomCourse Description: In 2020, when the Swedish Academy named the American poet Louise Glück as the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, they cited her “unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal.” Glück’s consistent themes (as she put it, “the great human subjects: time which breeds loss, desire, the world’s beauty”) earned her many honors and many readers, yet her thirteen books of poems showcase a protean, ever-changing way of writing. This course will reckon with the lasting gift of Glück’s many unmistakable voices.Over six weeks, we’ll proceed chronologically through Glück’s oeuvre, briefly attending to the strained performances of Firstborn (1968), her debut she came to disavow. We’ll then turn our attention to the mythic and haunted personae of her more sophisticated early books, like The House on Marshland (1975) and Descending Figure (1980). Afterward, we’ll compare and contrast the astringent Ararat (1990) with the dazzling polyphony of The Wild Iris (1993) and the real tragicomedy that is Meadowlands (1997), alongside other books from Glück’s middle period, including Vita Nova (1999) and Averno (2006). We’ll finish our course closely reading Glück’s late work—from the meditative and novelistic A Village Life (2009) to the spare and strange Winter Recipes from the Collective (2021), her final volume, where “the world goes by, / all the worlds, each more beautiful than the last.”Our journey through Glück’s poems will be punctuated by relevant selections from her literary criticism and autobiographical prose. In addition, there will be opportunities to create original work inspired by what we read, shared voluntarily for peer and instructor feedback.Explore more lifelong learning opportunities in our full SPRING 2026 Odyssey Catalog_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Tuition benefits are available to University faculty, staff, and retirees only.
