SUMMARY:Write-Ins at Woodland Dunes
DESCRIPTION:Sliding Scale of $1-$10/person (cash preferred\, collected at check-in) \nThe Fresh Water Press is happy to continue to offer poetry write-ins at Woodland Dunes. This autumn we’ll continue to enjoy nature poetry by reading and discussing the work of significant American poets\, which may include Naomi Shihab Nye\, Kimberly Blaeser\, and James Wright\, among others. Each session will differ slightly in focus\, for example\, we may examine poems about a single life form\, such as trees or birds; consider Japanese forms; write a group poem; or explore themes of nature and society. Sessions will include time for writing\, so bring your journal or a notebook and your favorite writing implement. Sharing your work is optional\, but welcome. Sessions are meant for all levels of experience. Light snack and beverages will be available. Registration appreciated by Tuesday\, November 18th.
