A Book About Me: Capturing Your Story in Episodes, Fragments, & Memories
Date and Time
Wednesday Sep 30, 2020
6:30 PM - 8:00 PM EDTDescription
In this class, we will excavate our memories to generate short essays, letters, and fragments from our lives. Through in-class writing prompts, the study of a wide range of published memoirs, shared stories, and optional homework, your story will start to come together in a nonlinear messy memoir. Photographs, food, domestic spaces, and lists are just some of the thresholds we will explore. Bring a journal, pen or pencil, and a desire to explore and document your story.
