Creative Writing Meets Visual Art

Join us for Image and Word - an afternoon of creative writing read aloud by seven local writers. Each written work was created in response to a work of visual art. We’ll gather at Studio Fourth Street to hear participants of our Storyline writers group share all new poetry and stories — Each piece stimulated by a work of visual art. We’ll have the artwork present as we listen to: Kevin Oshiro, Eleanor Bailey, David Harmon, Bekah Harmon, Alan Buhtz, Tim Robinson, and Dave Robinson.

After the reading, join us a block away at Cedar House at around 3:30 for a reception.

Summer Porch Nights - Week Five

Summer Porch Nights - Week Five

This is a fun opportunity to hear stories read aloud -- something we all enjoyed as kids, but you don't have to be a kid to enjoy it. Come on by — everyone is welcome.

As the tradition goes, we’ll read old stories, many written by the 19th century Scottish writer, George MacDonald - a huge favorite around here. This week we’ll finish the book Lilith, which he first published in 1895.

MacDonald’s stories are known for being highly imaginative and full of a deep, yet accessible wisdom. As a writer, he was a true innovator, and had a significant influence on Lewis Carroll, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Madeleine L’Engle. (The photo of MacDonald shown here was actually taken by Lewis Carroll in the 1860's.)
