When was the last time you wrote a love letter? What makes a letter a love letter? A love letter is simply an expression of love in written form. Humans have been writing love letters for more than 5,000 years, through turbulent times, to span long distances, to fantasize, to imagine, and to survive. In this course we’ll explore what it means to compose words towards an object of our affection, we’ll study the love letters of others, and we’ll write our own. We will consider love in its most expansive and liberatory forms - divine, political, romantic, platonic, familial and self love. And we’ll ask if writing to someone (or something) else can free us, perhaps even from ourselves. Together we’ll study love letters by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Rainer Maria Rilke, adrienne maree brown, Virginia Woolf, Frida Kahlo, and bell hooks. We’ll write our own love letters whether to keep for ourselves or send away, never again to return to.

Sliding Scale: Night School Bar pays instructors and staff a living wage. We ask that people who make above the living wage threshold for their area strongly consider choosing the full-tuition or mid-level tuition tier in order to support our own living wage program.

Scholarships: We are currently able to offer three full scholarships per class. Our full scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering, limited to one per student per month. Because our scholarship funding is limited, selecting multiple full scholarships in a single month will result in disenrollment from all classes. If the scholarship tier you need is sold out please email us directly, and we will add you to a waitlist and notify you if additional scholarships become available. Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans and refund policy.
