How does one define history? History may be local and personal; we all know unique stories and local lore that contributes to the larger historical record. Drawing on our own sources, as well as historical records, this class uses a process approach to help bring historical figures and events to life through poetry. This workshop is also ideal for those interested in memoir.
My mind escapes a thousand things, like dates of wars and deaths of kings. —Rudyard Kiling
