Course Title: Writing about Grief and Loss
Instructor: Alexandra Hewett
Brought to you by Odyssey
October 28, 2024 - December 02, 2024 (6 Sessions)
Monday, 6:30PM ET - 8:30PM ET
Virtual via Zoom
Course Description: Grief is something we all experience in our lives and writing about it can help with the grieving process and even be healing and cathartic. Sometimes it’s possible to find humor through writing about this difficult topic.
In the class, we will focus on reading excerpts from nonfiction works about grief by Joan Didion, Sloan Crosley, Isabelle Allende, and Zadie Smith. Participants will write an essay about a personal experience of grief and loss, workshop each other’s essays in class, and revise their essays based on the feedback given during class.
