June Program News: Denise Low

NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, this program will take place via zoom on June 10 at 1:30pm AND as regularly scheduled on June 17 at 1:30pm. Only the June 17 program will have the post-program break-out rooms and district gatherings. 

Any member is welcome to attend on either date. Members will receive the link via the monthly newsletter or may request it from your district president. It is also available through the members-only pages of this website (sign-in required). 

Program Description:
Louise Gluck wrote: “We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory.” We will learn ways to transform memory into memoir using focus, invention, and deeper explorations. In the workshop, plan to write, edit, share, and discuss (or not—auditors are welcome). Bring a short poem or prose paragraph about any subject for experimentation.
