Studio Updates

 
On March 4, I will be teaching a daylong workshop at ZC in the conference center, And Then a Plank in Reason Broke:  Poetry, Uncertainty, and the Creative Process.  There are still spaces available in that if you’d like to register.  Feel free to email me for more information.   

A note about Individual Conferences:  As the workshop description indicates, there’s an option there for a 1-hour individual writing conference as well.  If that’s something you’re interested in, but won’t be taking the workshop, I would be happy to schedule a time to meet w/you through that option.   It’s at a slightly lower rate than my usual hourly fee for individual conferences, but I’m happy to make that available for that session for Sunday Studio participants.  If it’s something you’d like to explore, it’s a good chance to do that!  If you’re interested in exploring that on a more ongoing basis, feel free to write for more info.  I’m also open to work exchange for these conferences.  We can discuss details if you’re interested.  
 
Then, for March 11 & 18, the studio will meet at Montalvo Arts Center, where I will be in residence for March.  Montalvo is on 175 acres  of open space with hiking trails and gardens, so if you’d like to come down early, we can go for a hike/have a picnic~
 
It’s about an hour south of SF, so we will have to arrange for carpooling.  If you are interested in coming down, please email me and I will start to gather resources for how people can get down there.  If you think you can provide a ride, please let me know! Whether or not you know how you’d get there, just let me know if you’re interested.  I trust the details will work out! 
 
Then, we return to our regular schedule for April, back at SFZC, in the Art Lounge.
Dates for April:  1, 15, 22, & 29 (no studio on Easter).  If you’d like to workshop a piece on any of those dates, you can sign up by emailing me.  

The studio is now scheduled, mostly weekly, through August.  
here are the dates:
May 6, 13, 20 
June 3 and 24 
July 1, 8, 15, 29 
August 5, 12, 19, 26
 
And finally, for now, registration is now open for Tassajara summer workshops in poetry.  As you probably already know, Mark Doty, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Jane Hirshfield will each be teaching workshops.    here are the links:
