Join author Mary Gilliland as she reads excerpts from In the Pool of the Sea's Shoulder and Red Tide at Sandy Bend along with an informal Q&A and signing. Following will be a half-hour long generative writing workshop with free-intuitive writing and word exchange. Adults and youth are welcome to join and any genre as well, just bring something to write on/with!
Mary Gilliland has published seven books of poetry including the award-winning The Devil’s Fools and, most recently, Red Tide at Sandy Bend. She is recipient of the Stanley Kunitz Fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown and a Council on the Arts Faculty Grant from Cornell University, where she taught such courses as "Ecosystems & Ego Systems" and "America Dreaming." Recent honors include a residency at Cill Rialaig Arts Centre, set high on a cliff at the very edge of Western Europe, and the International Literary Seminars in Kenya/Fence 1st Prize in Poetry.
