Takes part
WILLIMANTIC — A group of Eastern Connecticut State University students recently traveled to Italy to participate in the Creative Writing Abroad course. The students spent five weeks, writing fiction stories inspired by their travels and experiences at the Studio Arts College International (SACI) in Florence.
Abigail Murren ’19 of Pomfret Center, who majors in pre-elementary education and English, was one of the students who used Italy’s Tuscan views, scenery, art and architecture to inspire their writing. The group took intensive, creative writing workshops in the lovely Renaissance-era palazzo garden at SACI, where they also critiqued and edited each other’s original works of short fiction.
“As an English major with a concentration in creative writing, this course gave me the perfect opportunity to improve my writing while experiencing one of the most beautiful cities in the world,” said Murren. “The amount of inspiration I had from experiencing Florence’s people, culture, and history only strengthened my love for writing, and I’m beyond grateful to have had that opportunity.”
