Seeds of Writing
The qualities and possibilities contained in a seed are endless. One seed becomes a maple that provides shelter, syrup, and beauty. Another blossoms into white alyssum. Yet another grows into a bunch of nourishing green spinach, or red tomato, or a green pepper. So many sizes, colors, smells, textures, and stories ready to unlock.
Seeds of Writing workshops provide a place to dig and nourish your seeds so that your stories, experiences, and imagination are expressed. The workshops are based on the Amherst Writers and Artists (AWA) method.
A little about me, Polly
From the beginning of my work as a writer, I experienced the joy of uncensored creative expression. It aroused and unlocked rich, dormant material. A dream, a fairy tale, a myth, a physical experience, an emotional resonance, an overheard conversation – each offers a way in.
I design and facilitate workshops on creative writing and poetry. I’ve mentored students from 4 to 84 in academia, independent workshops, and 1:1. As a lifelong learner, I continue to study and work on the craft of poetry and writing. I’m also a trained AWA facilitator.
My poems and interviews have found homes in various print and online journals including Poets & Writers. Explore my list of published works here.
Contact me with questions or musings, and I’ll get back to you soon.
