Telling Our Stories
With Maryfrances Wagner
| 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. | Public Safety Building Basement
Facilitated by Maryfrances Wagner, Missouri’s 6th Poet Laureate, this 90-minute generative writing workshop invites participants to capture a moment in time–whether it be in a poem or a tiny memoir piece. Novice and experienced writers welcome as we explore how micro-memories can add up to tell a bigger story of one’s life, the people in it, and the experiences we’ve had. This event is limited to 35 participants. Arriving early is recommended.
