Maria Mazziotti Gillan will be hosting another of her very popular in-person Poetry Weekend Intensives along with poet Kevin Carey on December 13 - December 15, 2024 in Mendham, NJ.
WRITING YOUR WAY HOME: A POETRY WEEKEND INTENSIVE is held at St Marguerite’s Retreat House, an English manor house located in Mendham, NJ. Situated on 93 acres of wooded land with pathways for exploring the property. this serene setting is perfect for nurturing the creative spirit.
Saturday, after breakfast, we will break into two groups for morning workshops. Lunch will be followed by one afternoon workshop and either free time or a critiquing session with the poet faculty. Interested participants can sign up in advance (at the retreat house) and may bring previously written, typed work for feedback. After dinner, there will be an additional workshop.
Sunday breakfast is followed by our fourth and final workshop session. A final reading by participants will serve as the “closing ceremony” to what we hope will be an inspiring and productive weekend. Lunch will offer another opportunity for socializing and networking.
