Educator and award-winning author Peter Ullian will conduct a creative writing workshop that uses excerpts from Sandra Cisneros’ The House on Mango Street as inspiration for authors to spark imagination and memory. Through a series of excerpts and guided exercises, participants will draw on life experience both real and invented to create short pieces from writing prompts. 

Peter Ullian is an award-winning author and has taught writing at colleges, universities, and was the 2019-2020 Poet Laureate of the City of Beacon, New York.
