Monthly Meeting Information

The Pilgrimage of Poetry

On Saturday, October 21, Fulbright Fellowship poet Anna Elkins will speak at Writers Forum. This program will include optional audience participation with writing exercises throughout.

Elkins introduces her topic with a quote from Richard R. Nebuhr. Pilgrims are poets who create by taking journeys. She describes her presentation as follows: “What is the difference between see and seek? What is the quest at the heart of the question? This session will explore where writing takes us by delving beneath our surface impressions to the underglimmers, the spirit-aquifers, and the paths of the heart. It is there—deep into the interior roads—where we make pilgrimage to the sacred with our words.”

Anna Elkins is a traveling poet and painter. She earned a BA in art and English and an MFA and Fulbright Fellowship in poetry. Anna has written, painted, and taught on six continents. Her art hangs on walls around the world, and she has published four books, including the poetry collection, The Space Between. Anna lives with her easel and writing desk in the mythical State of Jefferson. www.annaelkins.com

Writers Forum meets from 10:30am – 12:30pm monthly on the second Saturday (except for July and August) in the All Saints Episcopal Church Memorial Hall Room located at 2150 Benton Drive, Redding, CA. Doors open at 10am.

Spoken Word Night

Spoken Word night is the third Friday at 7:30. People can just come at 7:30 or a few minutes early and let Nadia, the hostess, know they wish to read. There is no advance sign up and no door fee, although we do gratefully accept donations. We have complimentary wine and coffee available for which we also accept donations. If you have further questions, best would be to give us your number and good times to call, and Nadia can call you back. Our web page for the open mics is at: http://www.travelingbohemians.org/open_mics.html Bohemian Art Loft 3304B Bechelli Lane Redding
