Writing the Path:
A Workshop Where Nature Meets Human Nature lead by poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
What path are you on?
For thousands of years, the path has been a popular metaphor for understanding our journey through life. Cavafy advises us to “pray that the road is long.” Frost suggests we “take the road less traveled by.” A.R. Ammons advocates that we “hoist our burdens, get on down the road.” How we choose to walk on our path affects all we are connected to. And are we not connected to everything? Through the practices of writing, reading and paying attention—or as Rumi would say, opening the sail—we divine who we are in the world.
This reading and writing workshop will focus on exploring the use of images and how these are used to engage with the landscape, the imagination and the reader.
This workshop is Free and open to anyone ages 16 and older. For more information please call the Mancos Public Library at 533-7600.
