"Writing Through Grief  Sunday, October 14, 2018 - 3:00PM TO 6:00PM  We each experience loss in our own way. For many, writing about the experience of loss—whether that loss is a relationship that ends or the passing of someone very close—can help the bereaved to remember, process, and begin to heal. In this seminar, we will look at how various authors have written about grief, through poetry, essay, and even a short story. We will talk about our own experiences of using writing to get through difficult times, and analyze how we might use creative writing to make personal this universal experience. It is recommended that participants be able to discuss their loss comfortably in a small public setting. In addition, this session will review writing that deals with grief, loss and recovery.  Please note: students will receive a PDF of works to review prior to class.  Instructor Lori Tucker-Sullivan holds an MFA from Spalding University with a concentration in Creative Nonfiction. Her writing has appeared or been anthologized in The Washington Post, The Sun, Now and Then: The Journal of Appalachia, The Detroit Neighborhood Guidebook, Red State Blues, The Cancer Poetry Project, and other publications.
