Place-based writing workshop
June 28th, 2022
Poet and writer Kevin Spenst has organized a free, place-based creative writing workshop in Stanley Park, slated for July 14th from 4 pm – 7:30 pm.
Spenst will lead a group of writers (of any experience or skill level) into the park where the group will write in response to three different environments (and pieces of writing that Spenst has selected). Everyone will get a handout of photocopies, a clipboard and a pen. There will also be snacks.
“We’ll walk, talk, read and write for three and a half hours,” says Spenst who advises attendees to wear comfortable walking shoes, bring a blanket (or something to sit on) and “get ready to explore through writing the various dimensions of the environment!”
Please RSVP as there are a limited number of spots available: kevspenst@gmail.com
