October 16-17: Writers Association of Northern Appalachia Conference in Wheeling

I very much look forward to being part of this weekend's WANA conference in Wheeling, West Virginia. They have a wonderful array of presenters lined up, including a celebration of Bottom Dog Press and Larry Smith and a keynote by Amy Jo Burns. There's still time to register at writersassociationofnorthernappalachia.org.

Jennifer Browne and I will present “[Re/De]construct/ion: Finding the Charge in Revisions,” an interactive generative workshop designed to help writers see revision in a new way. As she describes it, "Through creative prompts that encourage rearrangement, removal, and variation, participants will explore how revision can uncover fresh energy and meaning within a poem. Writers will have opportunities to experiment with multiple approaches to revision and share their work during the session."
