Memoir: A workshop in remembering story by story with Kim Stafford

We will write fragments from memory, half-memory, enriched memory—and by writing, help these fragments to grow in the general direction of poems, essays, stories, or just the delicious glory of the rich fragment. This workshop explores autobiography, biography, and life history, and the ways that individual lives are linked to broader cultural stories. Using the lenses of literature, folklore, personal story, and writing generated in class, participants examine how life stories emerge in families, with individuals, and at work.

Time: 4-7pm, 5 Thursdays, Feb 18 - Mar 18
Cost: $250
Where: Writers' Dojo
