RedBird-RedOak Writing

Writers from the Roundtable groups have filled the roster for the 1-2 pm hour of Woodland Pattern’s Poetry Marathon on January 28th. This year marks the 18th year of the book center’s major fundraising event.

The following writers will be sharing their work:
Kim Suhr
Robert Vaughan
Judith Zukerman
Sharon Foley
Mary Steinert-Ng
Marjorie Pagel
Laurel Landis
Eric Hansen
Aline Mohr
Emily Berthoff

Sounds like there was lots of “heat” in Robert Vaughan’s recent workshop, “Flash in the Pan.” Participants ranged in aged from 18 – 70 (wow!) and included brand new faces (count ‘em 7!) and a bunch of writers who have been around the studio for a long time. They explored sample pieces and wrote a few of their own. An optional follow-up Roundtable will give them a chance to share their revised “flashes” for feedback on Thurs. May 26th. Many thanks to the participants and to Robert for sharing his love for and expertise in writing Flash Fiction!

Flash Fiction Friday, January 21, 2011

Co-edited by Stephanie Lecci and Robert Vaughan, Lake Effect on WUWM, 89.7 now offers local flash fiction writers the opportunity to read their work on the air one Friday a month. Listen to RedBird-RedOak’s Director, Kim Suhr, read her story, “Mom’s Last Drive,” in the first installment archived at the Lake Effect website. In addition, enjoy Robert reading Len Kuntz’s “The Sky, the Sky, the Wide Open Sky,” and local writer, Guy Yasko, reading his microflash pieces, “Signs” and “Silence.”

Soon, writers will be able to submit their work directly at the Lake Effect website. Check back for a link.

Things are really starting to POP for our writers.

It didn’t matter that the electricity gremlins had knocked out the lights in the studio, Robert Vaughan and 13 participants lit up the room with Flash Fiction — examples, exercises and exformative interpretations. (Don’t know what exformative is? You’ll have to sign up the next time “Flash in the Pan” is offered!)

Can’t wait to hear their work at the follow up Flash Roundtable on Nov. 13th.
