DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 9\, 2:00pm - 4:00pm. Writing Workshop with Th
 addeus Rutkowski.\nIn  this multi-genre workshop\, participants will be 
 able to write prose\,  poetry\, or hybrid forms\, whatever they are most
  comfortable with.  On-the-spot exercises will be given to generate new 
 material. We might  start with a childhood memory\, a given first senten

 ercise: a  collection of words that we'd use in a piece. We'll write for
  about 10  minutes\, then share what we wrote and comment on it. We will
  complete  two or three of these exercises during the meeting. Often\, t
 hese  exercises grow into complete works after the workshop. Cost $35\, 
 payable in cash on the day of the event.\nEmail:  events@bigbluemarblebo
