Writing into Your Family Archive Through Poetry

We all have inheritances. For some, these inheritances are tangible—journals, quilts, recipes, letters, jewelry, garments, photographs, even the gift of caring for the same land one’s ancestors once walked. For others, inheritance is found in memory—stories told (or overheard) about elders or family rituals like putting blankets over windows during thunderstorms. The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow (WCDH) is pleased to offer an interactive virtual writing workshop instructed by L. Renée, winner of the 2021 “Emerging Poet” fellowship. “Writing into Your Family Archive Through Poetry” will guide writers of all backgrounds, genres, and levels of experience in creating a family history, a meaningful inheritance for their ancestors, through the art of poetry.

The workshop will be Friday, March 25th, from 12:00 to 2:00 pm CST on Zoom. Participants will be given the link upon registration. The class fee is $35 per person and all proceeds benefit the WCDH scholarship fund.…
