Event Details: POETRY WORKSHOP with SUSAN MCMASTER
"Listen with Your Left Ear: Autobiography the Easy Way"
Where on earth to start? -- and who cares what a cute baby you were (except your mother)? Readers will, because every life is interesting and full of incident -- if you can find the thread to pull it together. This workshop will focus on understanding how to establish a structure and an approach, and then drafting enough material that you can take off down the writing road solo. Bring autobio material if you have it (printed out), plus pens and lots of paper (this will be a messy workshop). Based on her recent experiences publishing both a memoir and a unique poetic narrative about her mother, Susan will offer a short presentation followed by writing exercises, readings, and discussion. Take home the outline of your book!
