  Mining for Memoire with Kate Marshall Flaherty

  Tuesday, July 29, 2025, 1:00 - 4:00 PM (Prose writers at all levels welcome)

  Memoire is a magical platform for self-discovery. Through memoire we make sense of memories. A simple smell, object, photograph or line can crack open our world, bringing us back to a past scene that sheds light on the present.

  We’ll delve into prompts that stimulate writing, realizing the power of story. We all have touching, terrifying, tearful stories worthy of writing down. Themes we explore in memoire are both personal and universal, which connects us to ourselves as well as our readers.

  Come … “Write your way home.”

  Kate Marshall Flaherty has published seven poetry books, one play produced at the Great Canadian Theatre Co., many CNF essays, and one memoire-in-the-making. She's been published in CV2, Vallum, Grain, Room, Trinity Review, The Literary Review of Canada, Event and Tamarack Review and others, and has won many awards. She has currently gives memoire workshops online, in libraries and community centres.  She guides workshops in the AWA Method, a safe space to take writing risks and develop craft organically, where each unique voice is valued, and the power of story is supported. She guides StillPoint Writing and Editing Circles in person and online.
