Beth Ann Fennelly’s “Build Me a Hummingbird”
$215.00
Build Me a Hummingbird of Words: How to Distill Your Life into a Flash
What should we do when we have the urge to write our stories, but we can’t figure out how or where to start? This interactive craft class will provide a strategy—start small—and lots of examples. Beth Ann will share ten things she’s learned from writing tiny texts, then turn class attention to her favorite short form, the micro-memoir. Combining the extreme brevity of poetry, the narrative arc of fiction, and the truth-telling of creative nonfiction, the micro-memoir is an exciting hybrid that transforms small, overlooked moments into powerful evocations. This hybrid form is also unusually user-friendly, especially for writers who feel overwhelmed or intimidated when faced with telling their truths. We’ll end with a writing prompt and time to share our work.
