Writer's Reading Circle with Marilyn McEntyre
Online / zoom
6 Consecutive Thursday evenings, July 31-September 4, 2025 5-6:30pm PT
Dr. Marilyn McEntyre, facilitator
Enrollment limited to 15
The purpose of this six-week gathering will be for writers to learn from other writers. We’ll be looking closely at works of fiction, poetry, and reflective essays and creative nonfiction to help each other notice writers’ “brush strokes”—their approach to their craft, how techniques serve particular purposes, and how our own reading habits affect how we read what we read. We’ll draw upon the deeply subjective, receptive practice of lectio divina as we consider the truth of Emerson’s observation, “There is creative reading as well as creative writing.” We’ll gather online each week, each participant bringing a passage or poem that gave them a learning moment and help one another practice “writerly reading.”
