Home place memories and experiences offer great storytelling inspiration for creating poems, flash memoir pieces, and other creative expressions. On July 25th, people gathered for UACC's annual Home Shores Creative Writing Workshop, held in partnership with the historic Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum, and led by Carnegie Artist in Residence Sherry Cook Stanforth, Cincinnati Poet Laureate Dick Hague, and UACC Place Keepers collective writers Tony Otten and Matt Farley. Stirred by themes such as childhood water memories, going "against the flow," intentional place-making, and Wendell Berry's fundamental "worthies" (e.g. light, air, earth, water, and more) we reflected together, wrote for a while, and then reconnected to share from our new pieces in the making. If magic lives in the world, some of it moves inside a supportive and interactive writing circle!
