An evening of coffee, tea, desserts, and poetry!

 
Are you a poet?
Bring one or two short poems and sign in when you arrive for open-mike readings of as many poems as time permits.
 
Are you a baker?
It would be great if you could bring a dessert to share. Desserts should be “napkin-fodder” to minimize the need for dish-washing.
 
Are you neither a poet nor a baker?
Great! Please come and enjoy the evening!

	Carmi Soifer, M.Ed., is an award-winning poet and writing teacher. She brings decades of experience, care, and spirituality to her classes. Carmi has taught  community workshops on both coasts, and was Artist-in-Residence at Rocky Mountain National Park.

This class will help you enter the art of haiku by gaining an understanding of modern English-language haiku, as well as some aesthetics from the traditional Japanese.

The emphasis is on your own writing — how to take two images and let a spark light between them, how to work with season words and emotion, how to non-judgmentally approach each moment.

Participants will find themselves looking at life’s moments in a new way as we learn to “sketch from life” and take in the fall season.

The class is experiential and fun, and is open to anyone.

Do you long to see your characters come alive on the page?

Do you want to see the story tell itself though character, action, dialogue?

This class will help you make your characters fresh and full-bodied. We’ll see how they mirror, or contrast, with our spiritual selves, and how our inner knowing informs and helps embody them.

Through experiential exercises, we’ll see and listen to our characters as they carry the structure of the story.

This course is open to those involved in any form of fiction or related writing (play, screenplay, memoir), as well as would-be writers.
