SUMMARY:Workshop: Strong Currents: Writing About Place\, Led by Patricia Foster
DESCRIPTION:CANCELED: This scheduled event has been canceled due to the presenter’s COVID diagnosis. We regret the inconvenience to those who have registered. \nRegister: patconroyliterarycenter.eventbrite.com \nThursday\, November 16\, 5:00-7:00 p.m. EDT\nCost: $45\nLimited to 15 participants (A minimum of five participants is needed for this workshop.)\nVenue: Pat Conroy Literary Center | 601 Bladen St Beaufort\, SC 29902 \n“. . . feelings are bound up in places.” –Eudora Welty \nThis workshop will be an immersive writing class focused on the narrative terrain of place and its possibilities for writers of memoir and the personal essay. This means we will explore our inner maps of experience and memory\, assessing the physical texture and evocative details of a place (be it a room\, a meadow\, a neighborhood\, a town\, or a part of the country) as well as the value systems and moral struggles within that place (what is approved/silenced /avoided/revered/made nostalgic). \nIn this workshop\, we will make lists\, use repetitive phrases for rhythmic nuance\, do free-writes\, and use close readings of published essays/memoirs to guide us. As in all writing\, we are giving ourselves permission to take risks and surprise ourselves\, to allow our insights and experience to organize the writing. \nThursday\, November 16\, 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the Pat Conroy Literary Center. Limited to 15 participants. (A minimum of five participants is needed for this workshop.) $45/person. \nLearn more and register at https://patconroyliterarycenter.eventbrite.com \nWebsite: Facebook Event Page \nAbout our instructor: \nPatricia Foster is the author of Written in the Sky: Lessons of a Southern Daughter\, All the Lost Girls (PEN/Jerard Award)\, Just beneath My Skin (starred Kirkus Review)\, Girl from Soldier Creek (SFA Fiction Award)\, and editor of four anthologies\, including Minding the Body: Women Writers on Body and Soul. \nShe has won a Pushcart\, a Florida Arts Council Award\, an Iowa Dean’s Scholar Award\, a Clarence Cason Award\, a Yaddo fellowship and many other awards.
