**Letter Writing Workshop** 
Theme: Brain Mind, body, soul, writing — they all connect in the brain. So, we couldn’t think of a better theme for this final workshop of the 2007-08 GWN workshop series than “brain.” In some ways, every poem, story, and memoir we write is a letter to the world. It’s how we tell the world what happened in our lives and why its important. | ||
