Meetings

Our fall in-person meeting will take place on Saturday, September 19 at Saint Luke’s Episcopal church in Wilton. The address is 59 High Street. Entering from the rear is easiest as that’s where you will park and where the entrance to the fellowship hall is located. This will as usual be a hybrid meeting. A link will be sent to all current members a day or two prior to the meeting. The afternoon session will be a celebration of our 90th anniversary and will include the launching of our 2026 Anthology Timberline and Shoreline. Copies will be available for $10. If you want one, please come prepared with cash or check.

The morning session will involve a brief business meeting and the results of the September members-only contest. In-person registration will begin at 9:30. Coffee and tea will be available. Our hospitality hostess has offered to prepare lunch for us, so it is important that you let us know by Wednesday, September 16, if you plan to attend.

On October 17, Bill Schulz will present a hybrid workshop Workshop: Poetry of Place, real or imagined

Time will be 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Those able to attend in person will meet at the Windham Public Library. This two-hour workshop will invite participants to explore poetry as a way of attending closely to the places, real or imagined, that have formed, moved, scared, or haunted them. We'll identify key characteristics of place-based poetry and offer examples from a range of voices before sharing a poem or two, yours or another poet’s. Be prepared to read your selections aloud. More will be shared as the time approaches.
