November 15 through December 21, 2011
How to Write an Interesting Memoir
Tuesday — 9:30 to 11:00 am
The class will concentrate on techniques that make the experiences of the writer more interesting to the reader. There are many ways to make significant experiences in writing come alive in the way a novel does without losing the narrative thread of the memoir. If you haven’t started a memoir this class may be the place from which to begin. If you have work in progress please bring along your work with you. No textbook needed for this workshop.
The European Mind: Dylan Thomas, Welsh Poet
Wednesday — 9:30 to 11:00 am
The legend-like Dylan Thomas is a poet whose influence continues to expand. His use of words is unrivaled in both his poetry and the broadcasts he made for the BBC. Our study of him will include much of his poetry and a reading of Under Milkwood. The recommended book for the course is The Dylan Thomas Omnibus (available from many different sources on the web).
