Poet Sharon Charde will talk with Honor Moore about her new collection of work - THE GLASS IS ALREADY BROKEN.
We plan to reschedule when conditions permit.
We women need time carved from our busy lives, away from the anguish and overload the world tosses at us daily, the men, children, and jobs that pull at us for response and care. I believe my retreats offer this oasis, providing a nourishing community for slowing down, telling our stories, taking risks in writing we would never take alone. Responding to prompts, we will move our pens fast across notebooks and pads, with relief that there is no critical feedback, only focused attention and deep acceptance. Writing from the heart and not the head, we find pieces of ourselves and our lives that often surprise us with their vividness and energy.
Cost for the weekend including room and board: 750.00
A Mourning Mother, a Group of Girls and the Power of Rehabilitative Poetry
After the death of her child, a grief-stricken psychotherapist volunteers as a poetry teacher at a residential treatment facility for “delinquent” girls. Here, their mutual support nourish and enrich each other, though not without large quantities of drama and recalcitrance. For fans of the acclaimed movies Stand and Deliver and The Freedom Writers Diary comes I Am Not a Juvenile Delinquent: How Poetry Changed a Group of At-Risk Young Women.
I’ll be at the venerable Politics & Prose for a reading and book signing as I begin my tour.
Due to the current health crisis, the launch of I Am Not A Juvenile Delinquent will be hosted by Oblong Books via Zoom. This FREE event will be a conversation with Sharon about her newest book. REGISTER HERE.
