The Women in Our Lives

“The Women in Our Lives Through prose and poem, attendees will be encouraged to write about topics that could include work (to honor the women workers at Corbin), or our relationships with our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, daughters or female friends. How have these important women influenced us and affected not only our lived experience, but our place in the word? In this free workshop, we will explore, write, and share these special relationships.
