On Sunday, September 30th, from 1-4pm, join poet Fred Wah at the Touchstones Nelson Museum for a creative workshop that will consider juxtapositions between creative writing and images. Participants are asked to bring an image (photograph, sketch, painting, etc) of a local Kootenay waterway along with a short piece of creative writing (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction) that relates to the photo. Wah will introduce the topic with reference to his recent collaborative project on the Columbia River, beholden: a poem as long as the river (http://www.riverrelations.ca/new-page), which was displayed at Touchstones recently. During the workshop, there will be time to look at, discuss, and listen to each person’s image/text. Digital projection is available and, since the workshop is limited to 10, participants are asked to bring 10 copies of their text to share. Attendees must pre-register at Touchstones Nelson and the cost is $20 plus GST. Cash, cheque, and debit are preferred.

This workshop is brought to you by Kootenay Co-op Radio and Touchstones Nelson, with support from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, and the Osprey Community Foundation.

Fred Wah is a former Parliamentary Poet Laureate and has published a variety of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. He lives in Vancouver and on Kootenay Lake.
