Marla Kay Houghteling, a Michigan Writers member, will conduct a workshop “Writing Poems from the World in Front of You” at the Bay View Association (a Chautauqua on Lake Michigan) on July 9, 11, 16, 18 from 1 to 3 p.m. The sessions will include using model poems as guides for writing one’s own poems by drawing on observation and memory.
Activities will help you use visual note taking, writing, and expressive mark making to help you record memories, observations, imaginings, stories, and visual narratives. All skills and experience levels welcome.
Interested in kickstarting your summer writing plans? Consider the Interlochen Writer’s Retreat-a favorite among many of our members. It’s a four-day literary immersion.
Please join us on Sunday, June 16th at the Interlochen Writer’s House for the launch of the Michigan Writers Cooperative Press Chapbook. Ellen Stone is the winner of this year’s contest.
We’re back with our rescheduled spring potluck — pushed (like actual spring) into May. Join us Thursday, May 9!
