Program
Join
Peter Murphy
in the country of his birth for an extraordinary writing getaway limited
to just 15 participants. You will have a chance to write, immersed in
the idyllic setting that inspired Wordsworth and many other poets and
writers. Peter, whose unique assignments have helped thousands find
voice and direction, will challenge you to go deeper—whether you plan
to begin new material or continue an ongoing project.
Each morning you will join Peter and the other writers to discuss craft
issues around a packet of stories, poems and essays. Then Peter will
give you one of his imaginative assignments and send you off to work.
These writing prompts are designed to challenge you whether you are
starting a new poem or prose piece, or working on a long-term project
such as a novel, short story, memoir or other nonfiction manuscript.
If you a beginner they will get you started on your way. If you have
decades of experience, they will compel you to go deeper, take more
risks and experiment in form and content.
After
lunch you may continue writing, take a swim in the Caer Llan pool,
explore the outstanding natural beauty of the Wye Valley or join in on
one of the Optional Excursions visiting local castles, historic Tintern
Abbey or Cardiff, Europe's youngest capital city. Evenings will offer
time to socialize, watch films set in Wales, meet with a local author or
two. Or you can keep writing.
The week will also include opportunities to share your new writing in
supportive feedback sessions. Whether you write poetry or prose, you
will return home from this adventure energized by the magical setting
and excited to continue writing. Register today, you won't regret it.
