Announcing "True Stories: Exploring Memoir." 
(A new Sarah Lawrence College Program for Wartburg Residents)

Emily Bloom from Sarah Lawrence College is pleased to invite you to a new summer reading group on the topic of "True Stories: Exploring Memoir." Classes will begin on June 24th and meet on Mondays and Wednesdays at 2:00pm in Steinkamp.

This summer, in addition to the usual reading group, Emily is also going to offer an additional hour-long writing workshop for anyone interested in trying their hand at writing personal narrative. This latter hour is optional and you're welcome to join just the reading group or both sections. There will be a short break in between for anyone who wants to leave after the reading discussion. For the workshop, Emily will offer prompts and then make time for writing together and discussing (no need to share unless you want to). If you have questions, you can reach Emily at ebloom@wartburg.org. We are looking forward to seeing you this summer and discussing your memoirs!

By the way, Emily recently authored her own amazing memoir entitled "I Cannot Control Everything Forever: A Memoir of Motherhood, Science, and Art." Her book is on USA Today's Bestseller List. Emily's memoir is an incredible journey worth reading. Every parent (man and woman) should read her memoir. She seamlessly integrates motherhood with art, science and history.
