Craft Talk Series: ‘Writing Grief Through Culture’ with Sarah Chaves on 9/19
Join us Tuesday, September 19th, from 7:00-8:30pm for our next Craft Talk Series event ‘Writing Grief Through Culture’ with Sarah Chaves.
How do writers talk about grief through a cultural lens? How does one's socio-economic class affect one's grief? What about immigration status? Sexuality? Birth order? In this session, participants will engage with the craft of writing about grief through these various lenses with authors such as Michelle Zauner, T Kira Māhealani Madden, Maya Shanbhag Lang, and Lidia Yuknavitch to name a few. Participants will engage in several writing exercises and leave the talk with new-found inspiration to explore their grief through various lenses.
