Writing for forgiveness is a generative poetry workshop developed and led by Eleanor Kedney, an award-winning writer and dynamic speaker. Eleanor’s book, Between heaven and earth (C&R Press, 2020) is an intimate exploration of addiction and one sister’s journey through grief, understanding, and forgiveness. Writing for forgiveness was inspired by this journey and the techniques Eleanor used in her writing. While the topic of this workshop may evoke deeply personal reflections, it is a craft-focused presentation that invites participants to explore both universal and personal experiences through the art of writing. When the workshop debuted at the 2023 Arizona State Poetry Society Conference, it received high praise from ASPS members and organizers. When one participant called the process “life-changing,” Eleanor committed to giving more people the opportunity to develop their voice and express the feelings of forgiveness.
