Words on a Page: 2009 Retreat for Women Writers

The architecture of our work.

Everything about our poetic voice gives
the work art and texture: the idea, the
feeling, the story, the details, the
rhythm, color, and line.

The look of the words on a page

You are invited to explore the design of
your writing and to craft new poems
and stories through the exercises we
will do together.

Be inspired in this beautiful location,
the presence of other writers, and
stretch your words, music, and art.

You are welcome to bring musical instruments
or your visual art works to
help us develop our theme and inspire
new works.

Announcement: Attention to Detail

What is key to artists in our work is “attention to detail.” These are the sparks that awaken the imagination–pushes the brush, the pen, opens up new understandings.

To have the time to explore our creative process is a way to kindle those flickers of soul. On March 7-8, I will be facilitating such a workshop–a retreat for women writers at Maris Stella Retreat and Conference  Center in Harvey Cedars, NJ.

If you are interested check out the attached brochure. The retreat will be begin with a multimedia poetry presentation, followed by an open reading. The next day we will be writing and sharing new works. Stretch. Stretch back. Stretch forward. Breathe deeply. Walk on the Jersey shore just before spring.
