Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre.- Walter Benjamin Summon incidents and characters from your past to the stage of your memory through writing prompts designed to create a personal literature. Let your unique life experiences help to create poems, short stories, song lyrics, flash fiction, personal essays, riddles or even the beginning of a book-length memoir. Whether you intend to share your written remembrances with family and friends or a broader audience, you will find this a collegial and supportive workshop in which weekly exercises will help you to transform the rich material of your life into unique works of art. The instructor, a published poet who teaches poetry writing and leads workshops on the creative process, will offer suggestions for getting your work published, either privately or in journals. Lexington Senior Center is located at 1475 Massachusetts Avenue. DAYTIME
