""It's been a long time since this land has seen people, we bring goods from far away, bags of beans, boxes of pasta. Without, we are helpless.""
""At Mars, unlike a real college, there are no grades, degrees or mandatory attendance. There are no tuition fees or trained professors or even public utilities.""
Mars College is a creative writing workshop located in the California desert, far from urban amenities. Students gather in a makeshift structure to share their poetry and provide feedback. The environment fosters creativity without the pressures of grades or formal education. The setting is stark, with the Salton Sea nearby, and the community is characterized by its desolation. Co-founder Gene Kogan notes the nickname 'Mars College' reflects the otherworldly landscape, enhancing the unique experience for the writers.
