The Remembered, The Forgotten: A Memory-Writing Workshop

What do you remember about your past? What have you forgotten? This three-week online workshop for adults explores the ways we draw on memory as a resource for our writing. Revisit old family stories, commemorate a beloved friend, or process a painful time in your life through either poetry or prose. As we write, we will let memory and forgetting play off each other, investigate the role of imagination, and learn techniques for recreating memories on the page. Each session will include writing prompts, in-depth discussions of writing craft, and opportunities for participants to share their writing with one another. Join Sharon Fagan McDermott and M. C. Benner Dixon, co-authors of Millions of Suns, for this memory-focused writing workshop.
