ONE WEEK POETRY WRITING CLASS OFFERED AT JOHN C. CAMPBELL FOLK SCHOOL




(a message from Karen Palu Holmes about a new class) 

A POETRY WRITING CLASS AT JOHN C. CAMPBELL FOLK SCHOOL
Sign up Now. You may get 1/2 price discount.

The Folk School class the weekend of April 12 will get cancelled unless more students sign up (I'm the only one signed up). So that means there is room for 1/2 price local students. Here's the description:
MITAKUYE OYASIN: POETRY AND THE NATURAL WORLD
"Mitakuye Oyasin" is a Lakota Sioux prayer translated, "We are all related." It's a prayer of gratitude for all living things. In that spirit, enjoy the poetry of Wendell Berry, Mary Oliver, and others as we explore the poetic voices of the natural world. Using science and history, we'll investigate how writing poetry can reveal and deepen our relationship to this amazing planet. We'll gain inspiration from early spring in the mountains by taking our classroom outdoors on peaceful walks. All levels welcome.
Teacher:
MARY CARROLL-HACKETT

Mary earned her MFA from Bennington College in Vermont in 2003. She now teaches creative writing at Longwood University in Virginia, where she founded "The Dos Passos Review," edits for Briery Creek Press, and administers the Liam Rector First Book Prize for Poetry. Mary's fiction has appeared in "The Carolina Quarterly," "Clackamas Literary Review," "The Pedestal Magazine," and other literary journals. She is the author of several books and chapbooks, most recently "The Real Politics of Lipstick" from Slipstream Press.

Not only do I want to class to make for selfish reasons, I also hate to see writing classes at the Folk School cancelled. 

Also, mark your calendars: Next Writers' Night Out is March 8 and features Robert S King.
