Welcome to Tutka Bay Lodge Workshop

Dear Poets and Memoirists,
We're about to spend a long weekend together in one of the most beautiful places in North America! I'm very much looking forward to this workshop, as you are a most eclectic group of poets and writers, and many of you work in more than one genre.
We'll have a lovely weekend of writing, forest exploration, solitude and community (and the food, as some of you may already know) is out of this world.
To enhance our experience, I am developing this blog. The "pages" to your right open onto documents, readings, and exercises we will be doing during our time together. You may want to print this material and bring it with you, and our access to the blog during our Tutka Bay time may be dicey. I intend to leave the blog open after our time together so that we may continue to stay in touch and share our work.
So bring some work with you, and your notebooks and/or laptops and perhaps a flashdrive so we can share work.
This blog will be private and open only to participants and some staff members of the Tutka Bay Lodge, so anything you post here won't be shared with the whole world.

I'll see you on September 3rd!
Best wishes,
Carolyn

Post Tutka Bay

Dear most wonderful workshop,
     We saw two orcas from the water taxi on the way to Homer-- a wonderful sign! I wanted to thank you all for those wonderful days together. Now that I'm back int he fray of school, it so helps to feel that community that we were still with me, and the silence of the forest, and the eagles, and the soul-uplifting beauty of Tutka Bay.
      I'm in the midst of preparing (intensely) for the James Baldwin tribute tomorrow, but after that, I will begin posting photos and responses and all else to the blog and also making our group email list. I hope you'll forgive the delay.
    Let's stay here together...
Best wishes,
Carolyn
