Wilderness in the City: Fall Writing Tour with Marge Barrett October 5th 10 am to Noon

How to express this day, this place, this experience?
“If you don’t know where you are, you don’t know who you are,” claimed Wendell Berry. On this outstanding day in October, in this beautiful place, we’re going to try to capture in writing who we are by expressing where we are. We’ll hear from some fine writers in all genres (poetry, fiction, nonfiction) how they explained themselves this way; we’ll write with prompts to help us discover our own particular way; we’ll share our experiences with each other, offering gifts of the universal dimension.
