		Why Poetry & Memoir? Many contemporary poets have lately been drawn to creative nonfiction and memoir. Why? Perhaps these two genres both seek to tell the truth, to express the world we live in rather than imaginary worlds? Whatever your reason may be, this intensive three-day workshop will provide you an opportunity to explore this new and exciting genre. The Workshop: May 12-15 This “master class” workshop will be limited in size (5-6 writers), due to restricted space at the Inn, but also due to the intimate quality of the workshop. Participants will arrive at the Antebellum Inn on Thursday afternoon. Thursday evening the group will meet to discuss each writer’s goals, plans for the workshop, then meet for dinner at a downtown restaurant (an easy four block walk from the Inn). After a delicious home-cooked breakfast, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings will be devoted to writing workshops (see application procedures below). Friday and Saturday afternoons will be time to write, explore Milledgeville, visit Flannery O’Connor’s family farm Andalusia, and meet for conferences with the instructor, Martin Lammon. Evenings will be devoted to readings at the Inn by workshop participants. Application Procedures Poets should submit with their non-refundable application fee ($35, which includes a subscription to Arts & Letters, a $15 value), a sample of their poetry (up to 8 PAGES, either in manuscript or photocopies of published poems), a short (500-word) statement of why they are interested in working in creative nonfiction, and a cover letter with brief bio. Checks or money orders should be payable to “GC&SU” (note “Editor’s Workshop” in the memo section of your check).
