Elegies, Obits, and Honoring Life in Writing: A Creative Exploration of Loves & Loss

November 1, 2026 10:30 AM –1:00 PM

Overview

This writing workshop we’ll take the heart of the elegy—a traditional literary form expressing emotions around loss—and combine it with more contemporary play on obituaries and eulogies. We will frame, reframe, and place ourselves in the current context of loss in which we find ourselves (from an obituary for the loss of a job or relationship, a formal-toned eulogy for the death of a concept, or a traditional elegy mourning the loss of a loved one), while hopefully building greater capacity for healing and joy.

Instructor: Sarah Chavez

Class maximum: 15 students.
