Micro Memoir Workshop led by Elizabeth Klein to “get out your feelings, share your history and be heard!”
The workshop began with getting in touch with the process of writing, zoning in on a moment, recognizing our feelings. Micro Memoir is an elastic hybrid structure of writing in which the writer zones in one particular moment. The Micro allows for blurring of boundaries of traditional genres. While the integrity of truth-telling remains, the format can shift from creative non-fiction to poetic form or infusion of information to support the story, quotes or dialogue.
Materials for the workshop included pens, paper or a journal. We each brought a memory, past observation or image that we wanted to explore. The workshop consisted of warm up exercises, 15 minutes of writing time and then sharing of our experiences.
