Hello fans of Poems-For-All,
My name is Kate Asche, and I work for the UC Davis Graduate Creative Writing Program coordinating The Tomales Bay Workshops under director Pam Houston.
We want to make you aware of The Tomales Bay Workshops, which is an annual six-day writing conference held at The Marconi Conference Center ( www.marconiconference.org) on beautiful Tomales Bay, a little north of San Francisco. We have an extraordinary group of writers lined up to lead the workshops this year including Jack Driscoll, Cornelius Eady, Judith Freeman, Pete Fromm, Heather McHugh, and Howard Norman. Our keynote speaker will be the lovely and accomplished Joy Harjo. We think that some Sacramento Poetry Center members will want to join our talented and dedicated group of writers at the conference this fall, which will run from October 24 - 29 2007.
We are now accepting applications for general admission (due by June 15--but send now, because we fill up quickly!) but are also calling for applicants to our fellowship competition. Each year, we try to give away at least six full-ride fellowships; these pay the whole $1300 conference fee and include room, food, and workshop enrollment. **FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE DUE APRIL 15** (applications arriving on Monday, April 16 will still be considered). Applications (and additional information) can be found in our brochure, which I have attached to this email, or on our website at http://extension.ucdavis.edu/unit/arts_and_humanities/ (scroll down to the bottom to "Featured Courses" and click "The Tomales Bay Workshops").
Please forward this email to anyone you feel would be interested in this fabulous writing and learning opportunity. (And please be sure to forward the brochure attachment with the note!)
Please do not hesitate to contact me at tomales.bay.workshops@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
Thank you so much for your time and attention!
Sincerely,
Kate Asche
Conference Coordinator
