Nature of Words and of Students
Monday, November 9, 2009 at 03:29PM 
Central Oregon's very own Nature of Words concluded over the weekend and word from our students and parents was that it was the best event yet. Students kicked off their participation by going to the Thursday night reading at a packed Tower Theatre here in town. This event highlighted the readings of Karen Karbo, Matthew Dickman, and Sherman Alexie. On Friday our high school student attended two different writer's workshops at the OSU Cascades building at COCC. Half of our group attended a workshop by Jane Kirpatrick. this workshop, called She's Such a Character, focussed on developing meaningful colorful characterizations in your writing. Poet Valzhyna Mort, who hosted the workshop Beauty on the Edge of Failure, spoke to creating fearless and honest language in poetry.
