Description: This popular class is now being offered in an expanded 4-hour format!
We all have memories of meals and travels that have changed our lives or the way we look at the world.
Using essays to get us started by MFK Fisher, Julia Reed, Bill Bryson and Calvin Trillin, we’ll explore our relationship with food, family, emotion and identity. We’ll experiment with the way in which travel enlightens us and makes us understand “home” more clearly.
In-class prompts will get you writing and a mini-workshop will give you some immediate feedback.
Who Should Attend: This class is open to writers at all levels and with all levels of experience.
