Marquette – The Building Hope in Uncertain Times series will present the writing workshop “Personal Writing, Community, and Citizenship ” led by Jill Darling, PhD on Saturday, February 20 from noon to 4 p.m. in the Shiras Room of the Peter White Public Library.
Workshop participants will discuss connections between personal experience, writing, and social engagement using the essays in Section 6: “The Global Stage of The Impossible Will Take a Little While.” Crafting short pieces of creative personal nonfiction will be followed
by discussion on how to turn personal experiences and interests into strong and evocative pieces of writing. The workshop will also consider possibilities for writing as social action in the world.
Participants need not have prior experience with creative or essay writing but simply be willing to share and learn. Ideas and examples from previous sections of “The Impossible Will Take a Little While” will be welcome in the discussions.
