[RP TownTalk] Second Saturday Lecture, April 14, 5 PM, UP Church of the Brethren

[Kate Kelly]

A friend in University Park sends us this invitation:

In celebration of Poetry Month our presentation will be made by two poets,
Sally Rosen Kindred and Sarah Ann Winn.  They are calling their talk and
readings, *There Is More to the Storm than the Lightning: Two Poets Discuss
Inspiration and Process.  *

These two poets will consider the kinds of exploratory reading and field
work--including interaction with other art forms and with landscape--we do
to inspire ourselves. They will also look at exercises, projects, and
methods of drafting and revision that they use to keep challenging
themselves and to sustain their writing practice. Then they will share some
of the poems that have grown out of these practices. There will be time for
questions and answers, and a few new tools to enrich anyone's creative
practices, no matter what medium!
