Central Library

Meeting 3 (3rd Floor)

Explore transparency in personal narrative.

“Transparency is a window…opening into the light of understanding…” Mary Anne Byrne

During this Creative Writing Playshop, the physics of light will serve as our metaphor. By shifting viewpoints, we’ll refract or “bend” memory, reflect on hidden truths, and allow the light of new understanding to shine through. No experience necessary.
