Creative Nonfiction: Writing Your Own Story
Join disabled memoirist and essayist Stephen Kuusisto to explore the art of writing personal stories. Kuusisto writes: “As a blind person I’ve found that writing my own story offers me freedom. My disabled life is my life and I can tell it with my own language.” The aim of this online class is to make it possible for folks with disabilities to feel the power of sharing their experiences in their own language.
