Poetry Center San Jose presents Autobiography: A Writing Workshop with Nils Peterson on Saturday, March 28, 1pm-4pm in the Renzler Room of the Pacific Hotel at History Park San Jose.

Writing an autobiography in an afternoon. An autobiography is an attempt to discover the shape and form of one’s life. For this one, we will avoid all “and then and then-ness” and try to concentrate on what is really important. Participants must be willing to write fast and foolishly. You can bring wisdom in later if needed. The result may turn into poems, but it is better to think of this as a prose-ish beginning to your own exploration. Once again, participants should be willing to write quickly. The inner poetry critic can come later. Lunch will not be provided.

Fee is $50 for PCSJ members, $30 for students, and $60 for all others. For more information and to register, please click here.
