SUMMARY:Memory & Image: A Micro Memoir Workshop with Poet Joni Wallace
DESCRIPTION:Mondays Oct 2\, 9\, 16 & 23\, 6:30-8:30pm CST\, via Zoom\nInstructor: Joni Wallace\nNonmember: $150; Member: $125; Student/Vet/Mil $75 \n*EARN CPE’S\nSCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE. \n \n  \nSmall\, disconnected\, and incomplete–this is how personal memories often come to us. But how do we take these moments and turn them into something meaningful? In micro memoir\, a nonfiction piece is told in 200 words or less and is a perfect way to capture these tiny stories.  \nIn this generative four-week class\, we’ll explore micro memoir and how adding a visual component can add depth to personal stories. Beth Ann Fennelly\, Bianca Stone\, Karen Brennan\, and Octavio Quintanilla are just some writers whose work we will study. After discussing these works\, we will delve into our own memories\, learn to identify powerful moments and explore them through micro memoir and simple visual art exercises. \nThe final class project will be a short\, linked series of personal stories with visual elements. Students are encouraged to bring and use any art supplies they have around the house. \nThis course is open to writers of all genres and skill level\, 18+.  \nStudents will leave this class with: \n\nA short series of micro-memoir accompanied by visual elements\nNew critical reading techniques\nResources for submitting written work\n\n\nJoni Wallace is the author of three books of poetry and a chapbook: LANDSCAPE WITH MISSING RIVER\, Barrow Street Press\, 2023; Kingdom Come Radio Show\, Barrow Street Press\, 2016; To the Lighthouse Award; Blinking Ephemeral Valentine\, Four Way Books\, 2011\, winner of the Levis Prize (selected by Mary Jo Bang); Redshift (chapbook)(Kore Press\, 2001). Her work has been featured by the Poetry Society of America and appears in journals such as Boston Review\, Conduit\, Connotations Press\, Gulf Coast\, and more. She explores micro memoir through her poetry\, and her sound and video work appears on textsound.org and in The Drunken Boat.  \n

SUMMARY:Illness as Story: Healing through Writing and Community with Suzanne Ohlmann
DESCRIPTION:Sat\, Oct 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 & Nov 4\, 11\, 10am-12pm CST\, Hybrid (online via Zoom and in-person)\nInstructor: Suzanne Ohlmann\nNonmember: $155; Member: $135; Student/Vet/Mil $75 \n*EARN CPE’S\nSCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE. \n \n  \nDo you carry the story of illness in your body?  \nNo matter the diagnosis or disease\, illness leaves a mark on the mind\, body\, and soul. Even caregivers or clinicians carry the story of how they’ve helped others navigate disease. Sometimes the first step toward health and healing can be sitting with the truth of how illness affects you.   \nIn this six-week course\, participants will study the therapeutic storytelling model of the Six-Part Story (6PSM)\, explore writing about their experiences with disease from different points of view\, and practice combining facts and fiction to create a new version of their healing journey.   \nBy creating a safe space for reflection\, this workshop hopes to provide a path toward repair\, healing\, and empowerment. All students will write and polish a final essay for potential publishing. On the last day of class\, students will share their stories with each other.  \nThis course is open to writers of all genres and skill level\, 18+.  \nStudents will leave this course with: \n\nA polished essay in both first and third person\nAn understanding of how the Six-Part Story Method (6PSM) can be used to write about illness\nGreater confidence in sharing personal stories\n\n\nSuzanne Ohlmann is a writer\, nurse\, and musician. Her first book\, Shadow Migration: Mapping A Life (University of Nebraska Press)\, was released in March 2022. She teaches storytelling as a means to navigate illness and the human condition. Her essays have been published by Texas Monthly\, Intima: The Journal of Narrative Medicine\, and Longreads. She lives in San Antonio with her husband\, son\, and a chorus of adopted pets. \n
