ONE HOWLING MOMENT (ONLINE)
Draw a line horizontally across a blank piece of paper. Mark the line with the before and afters, moments where nothing was the same way again. First encounters, loss, risks taken, roads traveled. Sometimes what glimmers when we write into the memory mine are the seemingly inconsequential: biting into a tomato or singing a solo during a school play. These moments make excellent jumping off points for essays.
Join a supportive community of writers this spring as you hold a magnifying glass over one chosen event and weave a short nonfiction essay out of it. We'll read and dissect work by Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Bernard Cooper, Sandra Gail Lambert, and others. Guest author Carol Barrett will join us one evening to discuss Pansies, a 2020 Oregon Book Award finalist for Nonfiction. Open to writers of all levels.
