Third Sunday Writing Salons: March, April, May 4-5:30

Join Emily Arnason Casey for a series of writing workshops by Zoom. 

March theme: The Landscape of Home

Spring awakens new life, new vision, and new hope; we will explore ways to access this living force through the concept of landscapes in our writing. We begin each session with a short writing prompt to get into the flow. Writers write and share, offering positive feedback and insights. Then we’ll go into a longer writing session and end by reading from our work. This group is meant to offer the time, space, and inspiration for you to generate new writing and connect with your creative self as well as other writers.  

So much of rural New England has to do with a landscape. Hills roll into valleys, fields create a patchwork of color, mountains sigh in the distance, and forests shimmer and gleam whatever the season. But how is the self revealed in these landscapes? How does home shape who we are becoming? What layers of the imagination might we discover in nature’s patterns or the cycles of the seasons? Come generate new writing as we explore new landscapes. 

Our March landscape theme will be the “Landscape of Home.”  “The house is a nest for dreaming, a shelter for imagining,” John Stilgoe wrote in the introduction to the book The Poetics of Space: A classic look at how we experience intimate places. Write about a place to which you cannot return that has occupied the landscapes of your memory for a while. Come prepared to write in response to prompts, and to share your writing.

Please contact Jared Jenisch at jared.jenisch@thehowe.org to reserve a spot.  Attendance is limited to 10.

Join me for two Saturdays of writing about nature and place. From 10-12 AM on the first two Saturdays in October, writers of any level will convene in nature and consider the way an intimacy with place and nature influences their perceptions of the world around them. The group will take a short walk, engage in writing, and share with each other. 

Meet ups will take place at the Orwell Free Library & Mount Independence (in Orwell, Vermont), weather permitting. Please contact me for more information: emilyclairecasey@gmail.com
