In this workshop, you will write a series of flash memoirs--short pieces that recount these events and people that formed and informed you. We will look at many examples, review poetic techniques and editing techniques so that your words will be concise and yet able to describe without becoming bogged down in length and complication. In essence, you will be writing prose poetry.
