Craft and Catharsis
November 6, 2010
Alexandra Writers’ Centre
Many adults begin writing to work through momentous, often traumatic, personal events or circumstances. “Craft and Catharsis” speaks to the vital distinction between writing out trauma or crisis for the sake of healing, and writing about these experiences for an audience. We will discuss how to tell the difference and how to get the most out of each, partly by examining diverse ways to craft a memoir, whether essay- or book-length.
