This past fall I was thrilled to be supported by a Poets
& Writers grant to teach memoir writing at the Cohoes Public Library. What
a gracious and superb place this is, especially with Matthew Graff as director.
His intelligence, compassion and community spirit have helped the library
thrive, and the original St. John’s
Episcopal Church is now a gorgeous place to hold our writing workshop which has
been together for three years. With the ethereal ceilings and windows of our
chosen room lifting our spirits and inspiration, this very talented group wrote personal reflections
and thoughtful memory stories for eight weeks until just before Christmas.
Thank you to Poets & Writers, the great organization
that creates the connective tissue for writers and host spaces all over the U.S.
During the past couple of months I have also had the opportunity to hang out with writers. I must admit, it is the most PEACEFUL hangout ever! We've never all been in one place together and some of us have never met in person, so it was great to actually chat face-to-face. essay writing service
ReplyDeleteOne should definitely have a look at this article this is amazing as this prescribes all the efforts being put in by the writers in writing articles or some book or other material. dissertation writing shows that they work day & night and make heavy research to have the data collected and being summarized in the best way possible for user's understanding. I'm done with this article and had a great experience.
