“Our lives are like patchwork quilts,” writes Richard L. Morgan in Saving Our Stories: A Legacy We Leave, “and as we age, we detect the patterns we have woven and seek to understand them.” In this class, you’ll explore your life’s patterns and the stories they inspire. Revisit memories, reflect on them, write about them, and share your stories in a welcoming circle of peers.
Required Textbook: Mary Karr, The Art of Memoir (Harper, 2015). ISBN-13: 9780062223067. Available at Auburn Oil Booksellers
