Living Words, Folklore and Creative Writing: Peggy Yocom
$250.00July 23 – 29
Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. — Eudora Welty
In our workshop, through the gifts of traditional lore, we will listen for stories, for those moments that are worth writing down on the page. We’ll explore the unsuspected depths of everyday cultural forms and practices that are especially relevant for participants’ own poetry, fiction, and non-fiction writing.
