Each Saturday has an individual sub theme designed to compliment the overall concept of "Still Winter." While the fall series before this was craft-heavy, this six-week series will be a contemplative study of the spell of stillness and silence winter is known to cast. Beginning with stillness itself, we will meditate upon the word "still," and what it connotes before expanding into the silence it exudes (and how to capture both states of being in our prose and poetry). Through snow and ice we will trudge and pick apart the white space of the page to scrutinize the traditional symbolism of this "color" (or absence of color) before we surface into spring.

Sarah serves as a writing midwife by providing space to write in community. She offers literary examples for participants to study and assigns unique writing prompts designed to inspire both the novice and seasoned writer (these are often custom-tailored to meet the individual and collective needs each new classroom culture creates). Both poets and prose writers are welcome, as are all genres of writing (no snobbery here!). Come write your/our story. Small workshops of no more than 8 writers per Saturday guarantees the intimacy artists require to truly flourish.
