All Levels | How do our bodies hold on to experiences? In this course, writers will come together to consider the physical act of writing — how we translate embodied knowledge into language on the page. By moving our bodies and engaging our senses, we will generate new writing that touches on our vulnerability and articulates hard-to-reach memories. Writers of all genres are encouraged to participate; there is something for the poet, memoirist, and fiction writer in this class.
