Poetry as Memoir: Defining Moments in a Life
Instructor: Shari Wagner
Dates: Not currently available
Time:
Location: Indiana Writers Center
Cost:
Each life has its crossroads, defining moments that determine its direction. In this poetry workshop, we will use the techniques of memoir to explore the significant moments in our own life or in the life of someone else. That “someone else” could be anyone who intrigues you—an ancestor, a historical figure, a literary or mythological character, or even a persona from your imagination. Exercises and assignments will be geared toward helping you develop a collection of poems that, linked together, reveal a life story. Beginning poets are welcome, as well as advanced. Limit for class: 10
The cost of this class includes a $25 critiquing fee, to be remitted by IWC directly to the instructor, for assignments that she critiques outside of class time. To register, go to The Indiana Writers Center.
