The second half of Creative Writing has been full of exploration and creativity. We have been writing furiously, sharing, praising and critiquing each others’ short stories, and exploring the rich literary and historical context of Amherst. We visited the Emily Dickinson House for a tour, heard a speech by Peter Shumlin (former governor of Vermont), spent mornings writing in cemeteries and coffee shops, and visited a butterfly conservatory. We are excited to each share a short story at Final Night this Thursday!
