MEMOIR WRITING WORKSHOP
Telling Your Story: A Three-Week Memoir Workshop
The Poetry Center will be offering a new Summer series workshop on memoir, an extension of narrative poetry. Led by Dr. Christine Redman‑Waldeyer, the Poetry Center’s new Poetry Director & editor of PLR, author, and holder of a D.Litt. in Creative Writing. This six‑session virtual workshop will help you shape lived experience into a compelling memoir through writing prompts, guided discussion, and supportive feedback. Explore voice, structure, memory, and emotional truth while developing strategies to continue your work beyond the course.
Dr. Christine Redman-Waldeyer holds a Doctor of Letters from Drew University, where her creative dissertation, The Poet’s Easter: A Healing of Mind, Body, and Spirit, examined both poetic craft and the healing potential of the reader–writer relationship. She also earned a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Community College Leadership from Rowan University, a program grounded in higher-education administration and organizational leadership. She is the author of five poetry collections, a writing textbook, and the editor of a published anthology, and her work has appeared in numerous literary journals.
