Great prompt, Jen!

I recently read Obit by Victoria Chang, which was nominated for several awards including the Griffin Poetry prize https://www.coppercanyonpress.org/books/obit-by-victoria-chang/

I was in a class many many years ago and we were asked to write our own obituary. That was daunting. Now, at my age, even more so. BTW -Loved your three-step questions...similar to what I do in memoir classes I teach.

That's amazing. It took me forever to figure out what questions to ask (or even that I had to ask questions).

Thanks for reading! It's a great craft exercise (esp., in my experience, for fiction and poetry because the symbolism helps me go deep).
