Teaching at generative workshop at Fishtrap, 23-28 June 2026

Patriot of Place

This will be a mixed-genre generative workshop where we write poems, stories, songs, blessings, and other forms of testimony for the places where we most come alive—wild places, hidden places, neglected places. Bombarded by the far away, we will attend to the local, the personal, and the sacred. When things fall apart, the writing we compose with courage and affection can bolster kinship and defend—let’s name it: the land of the truly free and the quietly brave.

Journey to Ireland, 4-13 September 2026

My wife and I will lead accompany this guided journey, and provide opportunities to read and write under the spell of Irish writers.

 

The Tour:

This 10-day journey through Ireland and Northern Ireland blends literature, history, and stunning landscapes. Begin in Dublin, exploring the city’s literary legends and vibrant culture before crossing to the wild beauty of County Clare and the Cliffs of Moher. Travel north through Galway and Sligo, tracing the life and works of poet W.B. Yeats, then immerse yourself in County Donegal’s dramatic scenery and local traditions. In Northern Ireland, explore Derry’s living history, the Giant’s Causeway, and Belfast’s complex past through dual-narrative experiences and peacebuilding initiatives. Along the way, enjoy locally inspired cuisine, meaningful reflection, and authentic connections that bring Ireland’s stories to life.
