Join ACW for an 8-week creative writing workshop for adults ages 55+, led by poet, Marilyn McCabe. Legacy writing encompasses what we wish for our loved ones to know about us and how we have navigated our lives. Legacy writing preserves our values, stories, opinions, history, and experiences through a creative lens. Students in this workshop will be introduced to engaging prompts, inspiring texts, and a warm, supportive community dedicated to getting words on the page. No prior experience with creative writing is necessary. At the end of the workshop, participants will be invited to contribute a piece of their own writing to a class anthology produced and distributed by Adirondack Center for Writing.
Marilyn McCabe's work has won contests and awards, most recently through Grayson Books, resulting in publication of her poetry collection Being Many Seeds. Her poetry books also include Word Works Hilary Tham Capital Collection contest winner Perpetual Motion, and collections Glass Factory, and Rugged Means of Grace. Her video poetry has appeared in film festivals, in galleries, on public television, and online. She has facilitated writing workshops and classes in Saratoga Springs; at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY; as well as online through the Adirondack Center for Writing and through Empire State College. She blogs about writing and reading at marilynonaroll.wordpress.com and on the podcast Whirled Through a Poem's Eye.
