Signifying Pain: Poetry of Transformation
Workshop Leader: Judith Harris
Participants in this workshop will write original work and also explore the therapeutic uses and effects of writing. We will survey a diverse group of writer s-- Keats, Walcott, Kenyon, Lowell, Plath, and Ai -- who have used their writing to work through and past personal traumas. This workshop will be of interest not only to those interested in psychoanalysis, but also to those with a critical interest in autobiographical or confessional writing more generally.
6 Wednesdays, 10:30 A.M.-1:00 P.M., January 26 through March 2.
Fee: $270 (Members receive a 13% Discount )At The Writer's Center, 4508 Walsh Street, Bethesda, Maryland
Judith Harris, Ph.D., is author of two books of poetry, Atonement and The Bad Secret , and a critical book, Signifying Pain: Constructing and Healing the Self Through Writing , a study of psychoanalytic processes underlying literary perception. Her poetry has appeared recently in The New Republic, Slate, Ploughshares, American Life in Poetry, and the Atlantic.
Best wishes for the New Year.
