RopeWalk Writers Retreat celebrates 20 years in Utopia
|
The 20th Annual RopeWalk Writers Retreat will be held June 14-21 in New Harmony, Indiana. In honor of the anniversary, RopeWalk Press will release Twenty Years in Utopia: The RopeWalk Writers Retreat Anthology. The anthology contains poems, short stories, and essays by writers who have participated as faculty for the conference over the years and will be available for order at the retreat. This year’s conference offers additional workshops, a master class, a publishing symposium, an alumni reading, and a community-centered day of “random acts of poetry and guerrilla prose.” Faculty are Stephen Dobyns, Brigit Pegeen Kelly, and Dave Smith, poetry; Lee Martin and Elizabeth Stuckey-French, fiction; and Susan Neville, creative nonfiction. Master classes will be led by Dobyns, Ingrid Nunez, and Bob Schacochis. The public is welcome to attend free readings and craft lectures throughout the week. For the complete schedule and registration availability, go to ropewalk.org or call 800/467-8600. Wendy Knipe Bredhold News and Information Services wkbredhold@usi.edu 812/461-5259 |
