Meg Erbele | Workshop Announcement 

Come explore an ancient landscape peopled with stories to connect with your own stories. Travel to Cork and deep Ireland during the summer solstice to excavate memories in the form of poetry or prose. Led by a mother-daughter team, Meg Eberle and Kaia Sand, this traveling workshop will involve classes, independent writing, excursions, lectures by Irish writers, and opportunities to immerse yourself in local culture. Historic Cork will anchor the first half of the workshop and we will move to the Beara Peninsula village of Glengarriff for the second half. A few spots remain open.
