The Poetics of Place: A Generative Writing Workshop with Cynthia Reeves

Saturday, November 16 -- 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Handwritten text over a beige background with an image of a house and thought bubblesThe ever-changing nature of memory makes it an inexhaustible source of inspiration for writing. Gaston Bachelard states: “Space contains compressed time. That is what space is for.” Places can thus evoke floods of memories. When you return to a place from your past, it always seems different. Has the place really transformed, or have you changed and can no longer experience the place as you did in the past? Does the way you perceive a place in the present have something to do with that experience? In this guided, generative writing workshop with author Cynthia Reeves, participants will use a series of prompts to enter the spaces and places of memory and their emotional qualities, and exercise skills that will inevitably help writers of any genre.
