Group Leader:

We write. We write all kinds of things, but this group is for sharing literary creative non-fiction. We observe. The world around us looks strange when we focus in on its smallness. That's why we write about it. There's too much poetry about crap - we're saturated in everyone else's cryptic feelings. Let us out!

"As a historian, I have always regarded memoirs as source material. A memoir provides a record not so much of the memoirist as of the memoirist's world. It must differ from biography in that a memoirist can never achieve the perspective that a biographer possesses as a matter of course. Autobiography, if there really is such a thing, is like asking a rabbit to tell us what he looks like hopping through the grasses of the field. How would he know? If we want to hear about the field, on the other hand, no one is in a better circumstance to tell us - so long as we keep in mind that we are missing all those things that the rabbit was in no position to observe."

- Arthur Golden
