SUMMARY:Deep Dive: Writing from the Heart: Where Grief Becomes Art (Sunday\, Option 2)
DESCRIPTION:New this year\, we’re holding two intensive/generative 90-minute workshops each day; these are NOT included in the main ticket package and require separate registration.  \n **If you are having trouble checking out** you may now also purchase a registration at our Books website — this is a temporary workaround until our magazine website issue is resolved.  \n\nGrief\, though universal\, makes us uncomfortable\, especially when complicated by circumstances associated with shame or stigma. During this ninety-minute workshop\, memoirists Melanie Brooks and Eileen Vorbach Collins\, will discuss how giving words to hard stories — one about suicide loss\, the other about HIV/AIDS — allowed them to remap their losses\, process their experiences\, and explore life in the new normal after loss. \nModerated by Lisa Cooper Ellison\, a trauma-informed writing coach\, the session will open with short readings by the authors. Together\, they’ll discuss the personal and cultural challenges of telling grief stories\, how they used writing to process their experiences\, and the writing lessons they learned along the way. The workshop will include a short\, guided writing exercise\, time for participants to share\, and a Q&A session. \nAbout the speakers:  \nMelanie Brooks\nMelanie Brooks is the author of A Hard Silence and Writing Hard Stories. She teaches creative nonfiction in the MFA programs at Bay Path University and Western Connecticut State University and professional writing at Northeastern University.

Her essays and interviews have been published in The Boston Globe\, HuffPost\, Yankee\, The Washington Post\, Ms.\, Psychology Today\, The Globe and Mail\, and other notable publications. She lives in New Hampshire. \n\nEileen Vorbach Collins\nEileen Vorbach Collins writes true stories she wishes were fiction and fairy tales she wishes were true.
