Join us monthly to generate new creative writing inspired by works in the Stanley collection. A different, talented writer in our area will lead each session, offering a new prompt and a new approach to ekphrastic writing (that is, writing inspired by visual art). Bring your own notebook and pencil or computer and leave with the start of a newly written piece. Writers in all genres are welcome.
In November, the workshop leader is David Duer. A writer and retired high school language arts and humanities teacher, David now serves as a docent at the Stanley Museum of Art and the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art. His memoir pieces can be found at www.davidduerblog.com, and his poetry has appeared in Ascent, English Journal, Little Village, North American Review, Poetry, and elsewhere. A chapbook of his poetry, To Bread, has been published by Coffee House Press.
