Class Description

Too often in our lives (off the page and on) we seek refuge in a sense of assurance and psychological stability. But our most intense and lasting experiences generally involve doubt and disequilibrium. What happens when we allow ourselves to return to those lost weeks and months and years? Looking at the work of Lorrie Moore, Cheryl Strayed, Elisa Gonzalez and others, we’ll dig into this troubled terrain, and use a free write to discover what truths we can reveal. Please note: This session will be recorded, and the recording made available to all registered participants.
