March 2, 2017
Writing can allow us to go deeper into our motives and spirits than daily conversations. We can mine our pasts for events that were scarring, puzzling, or radiant. By writing about these moments, we can reach new understandings of the human condition that can help us plan our futures.
Instructors Laura Hoopes and Anita Zachary are published authors with MFA degrees from SDSU in Creative Writing.
