Peter Murphy
Memory,
Imagination, Spirit: A Retreat for Poets and Writers
June 17-19
Trigger
your imagination and stimulate your memory to compose poems or creative
non-fiction through varied in-class exercises. Appreciate the difference between
merely telling what has happened and infusing random details that make your
writing meaningful, satisfying, and "true."
You can choose to workshop your new writing in voluntary critique
sessions or use that time for more
writing and revising. This
course will benefit beginning and experienced writers at all levels.

more? Stay an extra day and extend your retreat.
