Diane Zinna is the author of the new craft book, Letting Grief Speak, out July 21 from Columbia University Press. In this gentle class, Diane will introduce three foundational ideas for writing about grief. She’ll offer inventive forms that work especially well for writing our hardest stories, whether we are writing from our “wounds” or our “scars.” Each participant will leave with the starts of five pieces of writing and ideas for how to continue. There is nothing you need to prepare in advance—come as you are.
