This short workshop will explore the various ways to channel grief, whether one's own grief or that of others, through writing. We'll explore various genres from memoir to poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction, that can best express personal loss. Participants can workshop draft(s) of their writing if they so choose.

We'll discuss excerpts/models from authors including Roger Angell, Donald Hall, Galway Kinnell, Joyce Carol Oates, and award-winning journalists.

Please note: this is intended to be a supportive writing class about grief but not a grief support group! If you are in need of grief counseling services, please visit your local hospital's resources site for more information. https://www.massgeneral.org/medicine/pcgm/palliative-care/resources/support
