Saturday, April 26, 10am, Ken Waldman will lead a free two-hour workshop designed for writers of any experience, ability, and age (though recommended for writers at least 13 years old).

FOUR WRITING PROMPTS: BEGIN FOUR NEW STORIES OR POEMS

The more you write, the luckier you get—and each time you start a piece, there's an opportunity to get luckier than ever. The trick is getting started. Here, you'll not only begin four new pieces, but will learn strategies to begin many more. The session is open to writers of all levels.

In addition to being a fiddler (with 12 CDs--and he's performing at The Argyros on Friday night!), Ken Waldman is a former college professor with an MFA in Creative Writing from University of Alaska Fairbanks. He has 16 full-length poetry collections, a memoir (about his life as a touring artist), a children's book, a creative writing manual, and a novel. Over 400 of his stories, poems, and essays have appeared in such journals as Beloit Poetry Journal and Poets & Writers.
