Join us monthly to generate new creative writing inspired by works in the Stanley collection. A different, talented writer in our area will lead each session, offering a new prompt and a new approach to ekphrastic writing (that is, writing inspired by visual art). Bring your own notebook and pencil or computer and leave with the start of a newly written piece. Writers in all genres are welcome.

This session will be led by Lenore Maybaum. Lenore Maybaum earned her Ph.D. in Language, Literacy, and Culture at University of Iowa with a focus on language acquisition, critical theory, and cultural studies. Her interests include French New Wave, film studies, the American novel, writing center theory and pedagogy, and Greek tragedy. She directs the Iowa City campus Writing Center and teaches Elements of Writing and Forms of Fiction: American Dreams. Her most recent publication can be found in New Maternalisms; tales of Motherwork, an essay exploring creative and maternal caregiving practices.

Space is limited, so we encourage you to reserve your spot.
