Memoirs give us an opportunity to write about a specific time in our lives or a particular set of experiences that have shaped our lives. Mining our memory for story is no simple task; it involves understanding how memory works, accepting its fallibility, and using its most compelling parts to tell stories that ask questions of ourselves and the world around us. This course challenges writers to not only explore the functions and types of memory that fuel storytelling, but also unpack their own memories to mine for the most compelling stories. Features work from Lucille Clifton, Syreeta McFadden, and Dara Mathis
