Experience an imaginative guided meditation tailored specifically to writers to generate inventive and unexpected images, phrases, and ideas. This workshop is a companion to the popular Forest Vespers workshop you may have previously attended but will include utterly different writing prompts in a new (imaginary) setting. This workshop welcomes all writers of any style and experience level. The workshop will take place over Zoom, but much of our hour will be spent with cameras off as writers privately listen and react to the meditation. (Feel free to bring candles, tea, or anything else to make your space extra comfortable!) There will be an opportunity to share at the end of the workshop, with no pressure to do so.

His writing and art have appeared in Spry Literary Journal, Chantwood Magazine, Phantom Drift, The Esthetic Apostle, and The Scarlet Leaf Review. His novel, Yankee Race, took second place in the Zebulon Competition at the annual Pikes Peak Writers Conference. His fiction typically deals with psychic fragility (not weakness, but a sensitivity to things), and its entanglement with the world. His is the story-telling of betas, not alphas… contrary to better advice.

His academic studies of poetry and literature have taken him around the world and back to share tales, moments, memories, and anything else he can translate onto a page. While he works as an English tutor teaching basic grammar and vocabulary, his love of language extends far beyond utilitarian syntax and ventures into the fanciful, the fantastical, and the mystical. Gage believes that poetry is the closest he has ever come (and ever will come) to performing real magic. His poems have been featured in numerous University publications including Capillaries Journal, Bricolage, and AU Speculative Fiction Journal. When not writing, Gage seeks to push the boundary of what storytelling is and what it can be by experimenting with non-literary media such as game design, oral storytelling, and collaborative storytelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d3ce10bf2f078f5556395/1624989628983-2T979GJ4GOCTPIG2T8ED/the_creation_of_adam.jpg Read Now - “Things I Believe in More Than God” by Gage Anderson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://twentybellowslit.com/read-now/the-moon-in-seven-jars monthly 0.5 2021-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d3ce10bf2f078f5556395/1624397465649-X02MB7OGCXTN5I0I9VRN/mesmerizing-landscape-shot-moon-vibrant-broad-day-light.jpg Read Now - “The Moon in Seven Jars” by Erica Reid - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d3ce10bf2f078f5556395/1624397535150-1YWOW4XC1QH36V99RLOB/AA095C7A-5168-402E-8FA7-3A4B23E04842.JPG Read Now - “The Moon in Seven Jars” by Erica Reid - About Erica Reid She/Her/Hers Erica Reid lives in Fort Collins where she is an MFA candidate at Western Colorado University, an editorial assistant at THINK Journal, and works in marketing for the Colorado Music Festival.

Haydn used to think Happiness was like this...clarity we were all seeking. Getting to the top of some snowy, jaggedy-ass, cougar-infested mountain and looking down on the valley and suddenly everything makes sense. And part of him thinks he's still seeking that clarity. Absence of want and all that. But as it turns out, he's not sure that's what Happy means. At least not these days. So he'll keep smoking and staring at mountains until that gets sorted. @haydn_winston https://twentybellowslit.com/read-now/roam monthly 0.5 2021-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d3ce10bf2f078f5556395/1623193945184-ISS1VKRLA7IU410WX7D2/snowy-forest-carpathians-small-cozy-wooden-house-covered-with-snow-concept-peace-winter-recreation-mountains-happy-new-year.jpg Read Now - “Roam” by R.R.
