tonight! don’t miss it!

December 3, 2008 / Kate /

This year’s Mother Words reading will feature the writing of my very talented Mother Words students, past and present.

Who: All mothers and friends of mothers
When: Wednesday, December 3, 7 pm – 8:30 pm
Where: Yellow Tree Theatre, 320 5th Ave. S.E., Osseo, MN

The reading is free and open to the public, and there will be wine and beer and snacks for purchase!

Directions: From St. Paul/Minneapolis, take 94 West to County Road 81 North. Take 81 north until you pass Hwy 169. Just past 169, there will be a Marathon gas station on your right. Turn right just before the gas station. The theatre is in a strip mall (but don’t let that discourage you—it’s lovely inside.)

Come and see why I am so proud of my students!

Kate

I have been teaching creative writing for almost twenty years. Reading about other women’s lives and experiences has expanded my world. To be able to walk in someone else’s shoes, whether it’s for a moment or an hour or a few days, is an incredible gift, providing me with insight into the human experience. It takes courage to write your truths, especially if it doesn’t seem as though anyone cares, as though anyone is listening. Let me tell you: your stories matter, I’m listening, and I’m here to help you find the heart of those truths, to get them down on the page, to craft them, and to send them out into the world. Together, we will change the world, one story at a time.

    It was such a wonderful evening. What a gift to have the opportunity to listen to six such talented voices describing six such different aspects of motherhood. I wish you all could have been there!
