Unleash your creativity under the shadow of the upcoming solar eclipse at Brooks Memorial Library, 224 Main St. in Brattleboro . Eclipses have meant many things to many people throughout history–from end times omens to cosmic messages. In this workshop, we'll take a world tour through eclipse folklore, myths, and superstitions, and then re-imagine these old stories to create new ones of our own. Open to all levels of writing experience, this is a generative workshop; walk in with a blank page, and walk out with new writing!
Ages 14 and up. Please register in advance by sending an email to info@brookslibraryvt.org or in person at the library.
GENNAROSE NETHERCOTT is the author of a novel, Thistlefoot, and a book-length poem, The Lumberjack's Dove, which was selected by Louise Glück as a winner of the National Poetry Series. Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart –– her latest book — marks her debut into short fiction. As a folklorist, she helps create the podcasts Lore and Harlots, the latter of which she also hosts, and she tours nationally and internationally performing strange tales (sometimes with puppets in tow). She lives in the woodlands of Vermont, beside an old cemetery.
