We will explore the rich territory of ideas, people, places, and emotions from ourpast, and examine how memory can inform and affect our writing. Students will learnhow to dig into memories from the span of their lives and will see how uncovering onememory often leads to another and another, creating fresh, imaginative work thatsurprises both the writer and reader. The 3-hour workshop will be a mixture of lecture,reading contemporary poetry based on poets’ memories, and practicing “fever writing” or“automatic writing,” tapping into our memories and the subconscious and reading aloudto the class. Although geared for poets and writers, this workshop will also be of value tonon-writers, particularly those interested in psychology, by showing how we can captureand utilize details from our memories to use as inspiration no matter what our discipline.Participants will leave with a wealth of ideas for poems and stories and will feelenergized by the notion that memory matters!"About the Facilitator:Kim (Freilich) Dower (City Poet Laureate of West Hollywood from October 2016 –October 2018) has published six highly acclaimed collections of poetry all from Red HenPress.
