Surfacing in Yellow Springs (iron, not sulphur) at week's end . . . I've had a splendid time at the Antioch Writing Workshops, where I taught the afternoon poetry workshop and also had 1-on-1 sessions with both poets and fiction writers. It was lovely to talk to other writers at all stages on the unending path. I'll go home . . . some time soon, with a brief stop to collaborate and visit with friends in the arts--Paul Digby, making of my videos, and Lynn Digby, painter. Thanks to writers Rebecca Kuder and Robert Wexler for hosting me. And thanks to director Sharon Short for making all things easy along the way. And thanks to my workshop members and 1-on-1 writers for being smart, entertaining, funny, and great lovers of words.
More Glimmerglass confetti
Glimmerglass is a series of mirrors and panes that splinter and soften to let you fall deeper into the heart of myth and artistic desire. A resonant, beautiful exploration of fragile hopes and the courage that comes from resisting their trampling by others.
--Margo Lanagan, author of Sea Hearts, Black Juice, and others; winner of World Fantasy and Printz awards
You might not even know what you are seeking, but once inside the pages of Glimmerglass, you’ll find exactly what you need: “a cup of music, a hill of sea.” In the Republic of Letters, Marly Youmans is our Magician in Chief.

What a lovely-sounding time at Yellow Springs, with great bookends as well! And that confetti is pretty nice, too--woot!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ms. Julie! Yes, good bookends, though I'll miss seeing you on the return trip... Confetti is good. Can never have too much confetti...
DeleteSounds like you are having a marvellous, inspiring time with kindred minds!
