3-5 Exploring Memoir: A Writing Workshop with Catharina Coenen
Sometimes, the relationships and family stories that we most need to write about resist letting themselves be put into words. We start to write and fail, or we stare at a blank screen—not because we have too little to say, but maybe because our hearts are too full and no words seem like they could be enough. Experimenting with different forms of writing can provide a container that holds what needs to be said, so that it can pour itself onto the page.
In this workshop, we will explore different forms memoir to invite difficult relationships to the page. Beginning from short readings from her essay collection Unexploded Ordnance, Catharina Coenen will guide writers to to create space for needed words.
