In her famous poem, Diving into the Wreck, Adrienne Rich talks about 'diving into the wreck' where 'words are purposes, where words are maps.'  In these workshops, we will find the words, recover the memories, revive the stories by going into the place Rich calls 'our human air.'
 
Workshop 1 – Wednesday, March 18: Diving into the Wreck: Finding Memories, Turning Them Into Words.  In this workshop, we will, as Adrienne Rich has described in her poem "Diving Into the Wreck" go into our memories to see and recover what was lost and buried.
 
Workshop 2 – Wednesday, March 25: The Habit of Seeing: A Poetry Workshop.  In this workshop, we will look at and into Nature, specifically to write about it in different poetic short forms like the haiku.
 
Workshop 3 – Wednesday, April 1: Is There A Story In That? Crafting Narratives. In this workshop, we'll look at ways of telling a story through scene writing.
 
Access to the recordings of these workshops will be sent to all who register.
