What We Carry, What We Hold Close:
Making Space on the Page for the Long-Held and Unforgettable
Memories, ideas, objects, dreams.
Sparks of light. And dark.
Most completed work—no matter the genre or form—starts with an idea, a scene, a memory or a sensation that has been carried and held, sometimes for years.
Make time to shine a light on what’s been there, just waiting for space on one of your blank pages.
This will be a generative circle. We’ll write from prompts, create new work and share pieces of that work along the way. No heavy workshopping or critique in this class but I can be available, by appointment, to review drafts and conference one-to-one if that's your desire.
Ocean Vuong reminds us:
“I see something; I write it down. It’s a way to recapture it. It’s this container; this ignition of the memory. If memory is creation, then we open a notebook, and by writing words, all of a sudden, it’s this piazza of the imagination where we’ve put all of our favorite interesting things.”
Here’s to making space and to new writing… a piazza all your own!
