Harness the forces of nature to discover its many sources of inspiration in this writing workshop. Bring a notebook with unlined pages, a free flowing pen, a glue stick, memories of hikes and walks, favorite nature photographs, and most important, your imagination. Learn how to utilize journal notes, photographs, observations, sketches, and dreams to inspire ideas for short stories, poems, memoirs, and essays. Read and discuss writers inspired by nature, including Annie Dillard, Gretel Ehrlich, Jourdan Imani Keith, and Meera Subramanian. 

 

  

 

Live Storytelling Workshop @Unison Arts Center, New Paltz, NY In the tradition of "The Moth," Unison is offering its first live storytelling workshop and performance. I will run a workshop to generate stories and introduce students to Seth Davis Branitz, storytelling coach, who will help writers prepare their stories for performance on March 21. I am excited about this collaboration.
