Kim Cope Tait, a widely published poet and essayist, will hold a HIWA writing workshop.  With Kim’s guidance, the group will explore what Wallace Stevens called our ‘dreaming place,’ engage in a variety of generative exercises, consider and discuss topics around philosophy and craft, and share and respond to work in a constructive way.  Please bring lots of lined paper or a journal and your trusty pen.  Also bring a photograph you took or one that you are in.  And, if you like, bring a published poem or short fiction excerpt (up to 3 paragraphs) by your favorite writer.

Note:  Space limited to 20 participants.  Please send reservation requests to writershawaii@yahoo.com.  Mahalo.

We would like to hear from everyone whether this kind of venue to encourage and support writing should be continued and sponsored by HIWA.
