LANDSCAPE OF AN IMAGE

Sarah class with Winston Salem Writers *All are welcome! – 10 a.m. – noon, Eastern, Zoom.

Register through WSW’s website!

Description: How much does our physical location shape us? Are our identities tied to the land of our fathers? How can we deepen our images by exploring them on the page more fully? Sarah Ann Winn will share her work, rooted in Ohio, in the rust belt, the hills and the shadows, and other place-based readings which uncover truths about identity. In this workshop, we will write poems rooted in place, and dive deeper into the genius loci of our personal geographies to write poems which immerse the reader more fully in the land that informs and shapes our work.
