Let Loose the Imagination

Want to take a right turn in this left brain world? How about dipping a toe in the creative waters by attending a faculty reading and reception that opens up the inaugeral year of the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing. But this isn’t just about sitting back and enjoying the ride. It’s an invitation to join the circus. The institute still has a few spots left in its weeklong seminar running from July 26 to July 30.

Each day during the week, students will have the opportunity to hone their own craft among established authors. Editors will also be on hand to give the skinny on what makes a story or poem stand out among the crowd. Classes, panel discussions, one-on-one editing sessions, readings, and receptions round out the week. Interested writers can contact the director, Alexander Weinstein, at 954-242-2903 or arweinst@umail.iu.edu. A full description of the MVICW schedule and registration details can be found at its website, mvicw.blogspot.com.

The faculty reading will take place at the Point Way Inn in Edgartown on Sunday, July 25 from 7 to 8 p.m. Seating is limited and reservations are required. To reserve a spot call 954-242-2903 or email arweinst@umail.iu.edu.
