This workshop focuses on writing a short meditative essay, where “nothing happens” and everything happens. During this pandemic, many of us stayed at home and slowed our pace and discovered we liked it that way. How might we elevate ordinary experiences and transform them on the page into what Virginia Woolf called “moments of being”? We will work on generating and drafting a meditative flash essay.

She is the author of Remember To Forget Me and Necessary Lies. Her fiction and essays have appeared in many journals and magazines including The Gettysburg Review, Epoch, Glimmer Train, The Washington Post, The Irish Times, and Huffington Post. Her stories and essays have been named Notables in Best American Essays and Best American Short Stories. She is the recipient of the John Guyon Prize in Nonfiction. She was a Fulbright Fellow to Ireland in 2018, teaching Memoir Writing for the MA in Creative Writing Program at University of Limerick.
