Writer Carolyn Marie Souaid and I have been invited to lead a joint poetry/prose workshop in Vasto, Italy (Southern Abruzzo) from September 6-13, 2025. Hosted by Vasto Arts Workshops (an initiative of Canadian writer and painter Luigi Monteferrante), “The Sea and The Olive Tree” is open to writers of all levels who are looking to create new work and exercise their skills. I’ve never been, but Vasto is a breathtakingly beautiful seaside town by the Adriatic. Our days will be spent taking part in writing activities inspired by the village’s beauty, history and culture. We’ll also study book passages, share and critique our work, and engage in discussions on craft and publication, and interact with the local arts community.
