Midwestern Memoirs: An Online Class
March 29, 2023 at 10:56 am 2 comments
Class starts April 7. Hurry up if you want to join us in a wonderful literary exploration of the (ahem!) famous “flyover country.”
Q: Is it really something to just fly over?
A: NO! It’s something to dig into. To explore, enjoy, learn from. And here’s your chance! 🙂 https://www.politics-prose.com/class/online-class-midwestern-memoirs-exploring-heart-of-heartland-2337

I love the idea of exploring the heart of the heartland through literature! It’s definitely not something to just fly over. I’m curious, what are some of the memoirs we’ll be diving into during this class? Looking forward to joining in on April 7th!

Hi Claire, So glad you are interested in joining the class. The details are all here, including the books we’ll be reading. https://www.politics-prose.com/class/online-class-midwestern-memoirs-exploring-heart-of-heartland-2337 I look forward to meeting you via Zoom on April 7 and enjoying discussing these books with you and the other members of the class. We’ll even even have a visit from the author of our first book, Susan Allen Toth, at the end of the first class. 🙂
