Writing Motherhood: An Expressive & Creative Writing Workshop
2026-06-25 18:00 - 19:30 | New Milford Public Library, 24 Main Street, New Milford, CT, 06776
Motherhood is a universe in and of itself. Creative and expressive writing can provide a much needed container to process the experience of mothering at any stage, whether in the throes of caring for a newborn or navigating teens and young adults.
In this workshop, we will read some short passages written by mother-writers in memoir, poetry, and fiction genres and then produce a piece of our own writing. Your writing piece can take any form: a journal entry, a poem, a collage of words, etc. Spark your creativity and connect with other mothers in this generative writing workshop. (No writing experience necessary).
Shannon Kearns is a writer of speculative poetry and fiction. Her poetry collection, The Uterus is an Impossible Forest, was recently published by Raw Dog Screaming Press (August 2025). Her work has been supported by the Yale Writers Workshop and she was recently awarded a residency at Sundress Academy for the Arts to take place in February 2026. Shannon also serves on the Housatonic Book Award panel for poetry. She teaches writing and literature at Sacred Heart University and lives in Connecticut with her wife and two children.
