About the Group
Analogue Writing Workshop - Unplug and Tune In. This is online, but if you want to join me in person (Highland Park/Pasadena Area of Los Angeles), I'd love to see you. We will meet every other week for exactly forty minutes, alternating between Ekphrastic Writing and Nature Writing. So, every other week I will be at a museum (Norton Simon, Huntington, or the Broad) or out in nature (probably Arlington Garden or the Arboretum). You can also look at an art book, instead of going to a museum, and commune with a houseplant instead of venturing out. We'll meet, say hello, write, and at the end share for a few minutes if anyone would like to. Not only what they wrote but how it went. These are all first drafts, written by hand! We will only share the work written during that day's writing period. We will also share with each other some of our favorite ekphrastic poems and poems about nature, but that will be done outside of the meeting time. Great excuse to get a new journal and a new pen(s). This workshop is open to everyone and will meet Sundays at noon every other week.
If you are new to Ekphrastic Writing, you can check out Lorette C. Luzajic's site to see examples and her guidelines. https://www.ekphrastic.net/ I have a couple of pieces on her site as well https://www.ekphrastic.net/the-ekphrastic-review/georgia-and-alfred-by-… and https://www.ekphrastic.net/the-ekphrastic-review/dream-of-st-ursula-by-…
