\"Clarksville'sClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Regional writers will be given the opportunity to participate in a workshop with noted poet Stellasue Lee on Saturday, January 28th. Dr. Lee will be leading a class entitled \u201cSaying the Unsayable\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournal Writing\/ transformation line is the key to a door of the subconscious. It is how one discovers what they are thinking\/feeling. Explaining the unexplainable is something of a magic act; showing up to a blank page with an unfettered mind takes some doing,” said Dr. Lee.<\/p>\n

“In this process, things happen that are always a surprise. This kind of writing is about reaching into the mid-section and exposing what lies within. It is one of the oldest methods of self-exploration and expression,” says Dr. Lee.<\/p>\n

“It leads people to understand their inner core and how life works. It empowers them to change the course of their thinking. Once it\u2019s down on paper, it lives.\u201d states Dr. Lee. Participants are asked to bring a notebook, and pen as well as their lunch.<\/p>\n

Guests need to R.S.V.P. by Thursday, January 26th. The class will run from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Fees for the workshop are $25.00 for museum members and $30.00 for general admission.<\/p>\n

Stellasue Lee’s work is published in numerous literary journals. Two of her books have been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, Firecracker Red, a powerful collection of poems set squarely in the earth, and Crossing the Double Yellow Line, a journey of sharp turns and hair-pin curves.<\/p>\n

Her work has appeared in three more volumes, After I Fall, a collection of four Los Angeles poets, Over to You, an exchange of poems with David Widup, and 13 Los Angeles Poets, the ONTHEBUS Poets Series Number One. (Bombshelter Press.) Dr. Lee received her Ph.D. from Honolulu University. Now Editor Emeritus at RATTLE, a literary journal, she teaches privately, and at writers\u2019 workshops.<\/p>\n

The Customs House Museum workshop is presented in conjunction with the video installation \u201cHer Honeybunch Sweetie Pie is Gone\u201d, which can be viewed in the Kimbrough Gallery through March 12th. Located at the corner of Second and Commerce Streets, the Customs House Museum is the second largest general museum in Tennessee.<\/p>\n
