Writing Where We Are: An Exploration of Documentary Writing Practices
Feb. 9, 2:30–4:00 p.m.
Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, 408 Mason Ct., Fort Collins
How do we write our locality? How do we creatively document the past and present of the land that supports us?
Join poet, essayist, and CSU Professor, Sasha Steensen, for an exploration of the intersection between creative practice and documentary writing. Together we will explore materials related to regional history and geography, and we will consider methods for transforming these materials into our own writing. As author and creator of Overland: An Incomplete History of Three Acres and All That Surrounds, Steensen has been seeking ways to ethically, and creatively, explore local history for over a decade.
