Do you ever find yourself gazing at an image, lost in thought, inspired to take notes or invent a
story? In this program, we’ll look at ways authors can focus their memoir, poem, or novel
around visual images and image-making, from family photos to museum-quality art. We’ll start
by doing close readings of various excerpts from published authors, with the goal of eliciting
strategies that you can apply to your own writing. Then, in-class exercises will give you a
chance to apply what you’ve learned.

No previous experience required. Open to all who like reading and want to learn more about the craft of writing. 

Jennifer Freed has been leading Writing Craft programs for organizations including Yale Women Writers, the Stanley Kunitz Home Summer Writing Program, and her own local library. She is the author of When Light Shifts, a memoir-in-poems, which explores the aftermath of her mother’s cerebral hemorrhage and which was named a 2022 finalist for the Sheila Margaret Motton Book Prize from the New England Poetry Club. http://jfreed.weebly.com
