On Saturday, October 18, from 10-11:30am, Moira Convey Silva and Sarah Carey will lead a Creative Writing Workshop on Zoom.\u00a0<\/span>During this workshop, participants will create short pieces of writing which articulate a vision for better care\u2013be it for the planet or humanity:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPretend it\u2019s 2030, 2045, 2070, etc. Consider: how are we ideally caring for the earth and\/or each other?<\/span><\/p>\n

-Maybe we\u2019ve redesigned towns \u2013 adding features like more sidewalks, bike paths and public transit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

-Or we\u2019ve squelched consumerism and embraced conservation. Could there be a return to carpentry or sewing? Have we swapped chain stores for general stores?<\/span><\/p>\n

-How have we reimagined child or elder care? Are they somehow combined?<\/span><\/p>\n

* * *<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you, dear writer, show us another way to care \u2013 on a big or small scale?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let your imagination run wild or let intense practicality be your guide. Be artful, be simple. It\u2019s all welcome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is your invitation to articulate the future you want \u2013 be it in a story, letter, song,\u00a0 essay or other form. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

Selected writers will be invited to read at a live event this fall. Moira and Sarah will provide more information about the live reading during the workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n

This event is free, open to the public, and presented by the West Tisbury Library. Please email <\/span>wt_mail@clamsnet.org<\/span><\/a> in advance to receive the Zoom invitation.<\/span><\/p>\n
