Teachers Are Writers: Leaps and Turns: Exploring the Creative Essay with Laura Marris
In this workshop, we will explore the unfolding beauty of the essay form and the ways it can capture curiosity on the page. We will focus on how creative nonfiction can invite us to question, develop associations, and listen to the self. We’ll also look at developing organic structures for the essay that are designed to reflect each person’s unique patterns of thought.
