Seminar: Polishing Your Prose by Minding Metaphors & Tending Time |
Seminar: Polishing Your Prose by Minding Metaphors & Tending Time
Instructor: Jim Minick
Cost: $55.00 Members | $60.00 Non-Members
Saturday, May 19, 2012 | 9:00am-1:00pm
In every genre, metaphors sweeten the writing, making an ordinary scoop of a sentence into a deluxe banana split. How do you play with language to find original metaphors and see the world anew? We'll tackle this question in hopes of finding metaphors wherever we look. Likewise, how do writers ride that horse called time and manipulate it without losing control? The diverse ways prose writers play with time, from the micro-level to the macro, will be explored in this workshop.
Jim Minick is the author of The Blueberry Years, A Memoir of Farm and Family, and winner of the SIBA Best Nonfiction Book of the Year. Minick has also written Finding a Clear Path, Her Secret Song and Burning Heaven.
