WORKSHOP WITH AMY JO BURNS &  JESSIE MALE

In this workshop, based on the teachings and scholarship of memoirist Louise
DeSalvo, participants will consider thequestions: Through writing, how might you attempt to recover what is lost? How might you reclaim power through creative expression? How might writing reveal insight from painful experiences?

The goal of this workshop is not to complete a piece of writing but rather to discover an entry point to further exploration and to expand understanding about the impact of trauma. During the workshop, participants will be taken through a cycle of prompts to write, reflect and share in acomfortable and safe environment.

This event is part of the series "Creating a Culture of Access," hosted by The Writing Institute with the support of the Composition Program. Registration is required.  (MASKS REQUIRED)
