Come listen to Goddard College faculty member and former Kansas Poet Laureate Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg read from her new novel, "Miriam's Well: A Modern Day Exodus," about mythical Miriam's journey across America to find her people, purpose, and place. This lively reading leads into a writing workshop open to all.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Writing the Tree of Life: Midrash and Personal Mythology To Re-Vision Our Lives
What can we learn about our own lives and legacies from seeing old stories with new eyes? Midrash is the Hebrew tradition of re-interpreting and re-visioning our guiding myths and messages to foster greater meaning, freedom, and authenticity. We'll look at and write from new angles about guiding myths and narratives in our lives through innovative writing prompts, discussion, humor, and insights that lead you into poetry, fiction, songs. In the process, find new branches and blossoms into who you are, how you live, and how you can help your community re-vision their stories.
Free and open to the public. Co-sponsored by Bear Pond Books (which will sell books), Beth Jacob Synagogue and Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
