Free Creative Writing Workshop on April 2

Eclipses have meant many things to many people throughout history–from end times omens to cosmic messages. Writers are invited to unleash their creativity under the shadow of the upcoming solar eclipse on April 2 at 7 p.m. in the Community Meeting Room of Brooks Memorial Library, 224 Main St., Brattleboro.

Acclaimed author GennaRose Nethercott will lead a world tour through eclipse folklore, myths, and superstitions. Participants will then re-imagine these old stories to create new ones of their own in a generative workshop; walk in with a blank page, and walk out with new writing!

Open to all levels of writing experience, ages 14 and up. Please register in advance by sending an email to [email protected] 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. She lives in the woodlands of Vermont, beside an old cemetery.

Thanks to the Friends of Brooks Memorial Library, this program is free and open to the public and is accessible to people in wheelchairs.
