Writing from
life can be a tricky business. There are people
to protect, faulty memories of events, and
the pitfalls of self-censorship and self-aggrandizement.
However, writing can unlock the creative ability
within us all, enabling us to express and
to grow in ways outside of our usual daily
life. This is where creative non-fiction comes
in. In this class, 2 Truths and a Lie, we
will write by drawing on memory, family myth,
and the truth and lies of our lives. Conducted
by conscious performer Bushra
Rehman.

and what doesn’t in terms of expression
through language, put names to techniques used
for emotive description, look at what makes
words leap off the page, write a lot, and share
our words in a supportive environment. Armed

expression through poetry becomes a joy. Join

poem eggs.
