Dear Four Corners Writers,
We invite you to an exploration of “Letters in Our Literary Lives” at the regular third Wednesday meeting in March. Letters play important roles in our literary lives. They advance plot lines, define character, comprise the heart of a story, and even unlock our creativity in ways that a blank page just can’t do.
Have you noticed how often letters appear in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and cinema? We have.
We hope you’ll join us for this inquiry into letters in our literary lives where we will be citing, reading from, and exhibiting letter-based literature; offering a short history of letters in literature; discussing how letters are used in stories; talking about the process of turning letters into biography; and musing about how writing a letter can open our minds to the creative process.
If you would like to prepare for this workshop, give some thought as to how a single letter or clutch of letters has impacted your writing life, your daily life, or your thinking.
See you soon and best regards from Mimi (Gorman), Anne (Benson), and Susan (Carpenter Noble).
As always, all genres and experience levels are welcome and admission is free. If you can, show up early to purchase a snack or beverage (or a book!) in support of our generous hosts at ZU Gallery!
