SUMMARY:Vermont River Conservancy Poetry Workshop

Developing into a community of writers as well as readers\, we will write our own river poetry and share in a supportive space. \nThe first hour is a workshop and discussion\, BYO lunch. The optional second hour is an opportunity to write\, revise\, and check in with the instructor about your work. \nWalk-ins Welcome!

SUMMARY:Eclipse Folklore as Inspiration: A Creative Writing Workshop with GennaRose Nethercott
DESCRIPTION:Unleash your creativity under the shadow of the upcoming solar eclipse. Eclipses have meant many things to many people throughout history–from end times omens to cosmic messages. In this workshop\, we’ll take a world tour through eclipse folklore\, myths\, and superstitions\, and then re-imagine these old stories to create new ones of our own. Open to all levels of writing experience\, this is a generative workshop; walk in with a blank page\, and walk out with new writing! \nAges 14 and up. Please register in advance by sending an email to info@brookslibraryvt.org or in person at the library. \nGENNAROSE NETHERCOTT is the author of a novel\, Thistlefoot\, and a book-length poem\, The Lumberjack’s Dove\, which was selected by Louise Glück as a winner of the National Poetry Series. Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart –– her latest book — marks her debut into short fiction. As a folklorist\, she helps create the podcasts Lore and Harlots\, the latter of which she also hosts\, and she tours nationally and internationally performing strange tales (sometimes with puppets in tow). She lives in the woodlands of Vermont\, beside an old cemetery. \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch--Shades of Mortality\, by Jamal Barbari
DESCRIPTION:Join three time traveling\, universe hopping\, inter-dimensional storytellers as they share stories of life\, death\, love\, and despair in Jamal Barbari’s debut short story collection. Each story features a unique illustration by one of 9 different artists and draws the reader into a mixture of profound\, touching\, and comic tales unlike any you’ve ever read. The dreamlike quality of the collection brings to mind fairy tales with a darkness and capriciousness to the characters reminiscent of Greek mythology. Together\, the collection is a delightful blend of wonder\, tragedy\, and tenderness \nBorn in Bronx\, NY but raised in the Washington DC\, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area\, Jamal has been traveling and teaching abroad for most of his adult life. His interactions and experiences with different cultures\, people and religions sprouted ideas for his short stories and his love for art prompted him to combine his various literature with unique illustrations from talented artists. When Jamal is not writing\, he’s gaming with friends\, trying new recipes\, listening to a plethora of music\, and slowly becoming a digital nomad.
