Memory, Meaning and Memoir

This workshop will work with writing as an ongoing process and assist participants in developing a practice that will not only outlive the class, but also become woven into their daily patterns of life. Drawing on prewriting techniques such as "clustering" and "freewriting", participants will explore the mysteries of memory and the amazing qualities of the creative imagination, watching as what has been most meaningful to us in our lives, through revision, takes on narrative shape and becomes the story shared. Students will be asked to purchase a course packet of readings.
