Putting Legacy Into Language

Writing Family Stories

March 26 | 1–3 pm

Language lets us choose how our legacy travels across generations. Montalvo Literary Arts Committee presents a workshop on writing family stories led by Salt & Poetry, a collective of four poets: Hilary King, Veronica Kornberg, Nancy Meyer, and Stephanie Pressman. 

Please bring an object connected to family. It can be a photo, a letter, a teapot, a tie pin--anything. We will use this object as a springboard for guided writing, listening, and small-group sharing.  Together we’ll touch on the  motivations and approaches to writing family stories. All are welcome. 

Registration opens soon.
