Bay Village Branch

Meeting Room B-117(30)

Six-week memoir class, September 19 - October 24

Let us work on discovering the vivid stories that make up our lives. Each session of this six-week memoir class includes writing basics, writing exercises, voluntary read-alouds, and homework. We will shake loose all sorts of story ideas, advance our skills, and gain insight by listening to one another's work. This series will cover the topics of character strengths, hardship & resilience, subsumed identity, ekphrasis, death, and gratitude.

Presenter Laura Grace Weldon is a writer, editor, and the author of four books, Portals, Blackbird, Tending, and Free Range Learning. Her articles, essays, and poetry have appeared in a range of commercial and literary publications.
