SUMMARY:Rise & Shine: Winter 2021 | Series of Odes
DESCRIPTION:Rise & Shine is a generative poetry workshop presented by Surprise the Line\, hosted by Nancy Lynée Woo. Started in April 2020\, Rise & Shine began as a daily writing group in response to the pandemic and NaPoWriMo. Now\, the morning meetings rotate throughout the year with different series. \nAbout This Group:\nThe purpose of this space is to generate new words on the page together. We welcome anyone who would like to start their day with an invigorating poetry writing prompt in a communal setting. Rise & Shine will stay free and donation-based to allow anyone access to this generative writing group. \nThe first hour is spent writing\, and whoever would like to stay and share is welcome to read their draft (not a critique space). Invite surprise onto the page! Discover what wants to be written on that particular day without judgment. Lean into the process. \nOdes:\nThe Winter 2021 series will meet Tuesday mornings at 9 am PST\, starting January 19 and ending March 9 (8 weeks). Our focus will be writing odes! \nAn ode is traditionally a lyric poem written in reverence to a particular object or thing. Modern odes allow a lot of room for exploration. For the purposes of this workshop\, writing an ode simply means “paying particular attention to.” We will practice writing close details of a specific object or thing\, with plenty of room to discover what else there is to see underneath. \n“Remember that all description is an opinion about the world. Find a place to stand.” Anne Enright \nEach week\, the prompt will include an example ode for inspiration and some starting points\, including a broad topic for focus\, if you choose to take it. Like all Surprise the Line workshops\, you do not need to write to the prompt. Follow your own inspiration wherever it leads. \nFor the comfort of participants\, these sessions will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:Author Event: Wandering In Greece With Joanna Biggar and Linda Watanabe McFerrin
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Monday\, January 25\, 2021 at 7 PM PST for an online book launch of the new collection of travel writing\, WANDERING IN GREECE\, with editors Joanna Biggar and Linda Watanabe McFerrin. \nOur discussion will be webcast on Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88625831342. \n(Order your copy of WANDERING IN GREECE at http://bit.ly/ggpWanderingInGreece.) \n… The 8th anthology in the prize-winning Wandering series … \n  \nWandering in Greece: Athens\, Islands and Antiquities \n  \nOnce again workshop leaders Linda Watanabe McFerrin and Joanna Biggar take Wanderland Writers on another adventure —this time to Greece to wander amid its islands\, its rocky shores\, and upon those wine-dark seas of legend and lore where they discover how travelers who come to Greece as\na seekers find not only Greece\, but\, as Lawrence Durrell\nonce wrote\, themselves—and generally so much more—\non the journey. \n  \nStone\, marble\, mountain\, sea and sky framed by endless blue—these are the elemental foundations of Greece\, just as Greece is the elemental foundation of Western Civilization. For thousands of years Greece and its culture\, philosophy\, politics and spirit has inspired and influenced the lives of generations. In Wandering in Greece\, this talented and inquisitive group of writers has captured some of the joy\, warmth\, grace\, and wisdom of Greece and its people. These stories\, poems and images will remind a whole new group of travelers that a visit is a must\, and those who have already ventured in Greece that they have to return.  \n—Ambassador Eleni Kounalakis\, ret.\, Lt. Governor of California \n  \nContributors include Daphne Beyers\, Joanna Biggar\, Sandra Bracken\, Connie Burke\, Barbara J. Euser\, Annelize Goedbloed\, Thomas Harrell\, Donna Hemmila\, Laurie McAndish King\, Linda Watanabe McFerrin\, Gayle McGill\, Mary Jean Pramik\, and Anne Sigmon. \n  \nFor more information go to www.wanderlandwriters.com \n  \nLinda Watanabe McFerrin and Joanna Biggar have floated down the Canal du Midi in France\, danced in the sunlight of southern Greece\, toasted the best of times in Ireland\, devoured the culture and countryside of southern Italy\, wandered through landscapes lost and found in Costa Rica\, investigated the myths and magic of Cornwall\, uncovered the soul of Andalusia\, partied in Paris\, basked in the magic of Cuba and explored the Indonesian island that is known as an earthly Paradise in their award-winning series. In each destination\, they eat and drink\, laugh and get lost\, explore and expound with their merry band of travel writers. And they always return with a varied collection of tales\, some mystical\, some inspiring\, some funny\, some terrifying—each told in a different\, highly personal voice.
