7. how to get your book out into the world
8. how to give a good reading
9. how to find new things TO read when you don’t

a richly beautiful and alluring place.
EVERYDAY POETRY * Sunday, June 24
CIRCLING HOME: Writing for Beloved Places * June
29-July 1 SITKA CENTER FOR ART & ECOLOGY
Is there a neighborhood, a coastline, a spot somewhere
on Earth that has a powerful claim on your heart? Pen
in hand, we will explore the knowledge and dreams associated
with beloved terrain. A series of guided writing exercises
will enable each participant to draft a compelling piece
of prose about a chosen place-perhaps advocating explicitly
on behalf of a besieged or endangered area. The intensive
three-day workshop will integrate group instruction and
discussion with independent writing and revising, inspiring
readings, and optional one-on-one meetings with the teacher.http://www.sitkacenter.org
or email
Writing poems is a way of paying attention. It can distill
meaning from everyday moments and communicate a wide range
of experiences. This one-day workshop will open doors
into the world of poetry. We will experiment with free
verse as well as formal poems; we will range over a variety
of topics, tactics, voices, and moods. Participants will
emerge with original poems and with tools for making poetry
a life practice.
THE NATURALIST'S NOTEBOOK: Keeping A Field Journal
* July 19-22
SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY SIERRA NEVADA FIELD CAMPUS
www.sfsu.edu/~sierra/ jsteele@sfsu.edu 650-738-1814 (to
June); 530-862-1230 (June-Aug)
Whether you are a field scientist, a student of natural
history, or simply a lover of the natural world, a notebook
can serve as your best teacher and your most valuable
tool. We will explore the power of the notebook for both
recording and enhancing observations in the field. Activities
in a variety of habitats will help participants sharpen
their sketching and writing skills and engage more deeply
with the objects of their interest. Productive approaches
to field notes range from rigorous and systematic to subjective
and playful; our investigations will cover that spectrum.
All levels of writing and drawing skill and natural history
knowledge are welcome; exercises are designed to be used
and enjoyed by beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.
