Family, Memory, Place: Writing Family Stories
Thursday, March 23 at 4:00 PM (Today)
New Ipswich Library (6 Main Street)
Presenter: Maura MacNeil
What family stories do you carry with you? What story do you tell over and over? What landscape do you cherish the most? One of the deepest human instincts is to tell our life stories, to figure out who we are and what it means to be human. This interactive workshop led by Maura MacNeil explores how the landscapes of our livesshape the stories that we tell. Participants explore the themes of family, memory, and place through sample narratives and a series of short writing exercises, gaining a deeper awareness of how their stories can preserve personal, generational, and communal history.
Maura MacNeil is a writer, editor, and longtime teacher at New England College in Henniker. She has authored several poetry collections: A History of Water (Finishing Line Press), Lost Houses (Kelsay Books), and This Last Place (Dancing Girl Press), and her poetry, prose, and critical writing has been published and anthologized in numerous publications over the past three decades, including Penning the Pandemic: An Anthology of Creative Writing from the Beginning of the Covid Era; Mud Chronicles: A New England Anthology; Poet Showcase: An Anthology of New Hampshire Poets; and Voices from the Frost Place Volume II.
