We’ll explore some of these questions in this workshop. There is a long and rich tradition of writers using food as a starting place, a central metaphor, or simply as a foundation for a book. We’ll study published writers (poets and prose writers), learn some new techniques, and do some writing of our own. Participants are invited (not required) to bring a favorite recipe with them or a dish to share. Sponsored by the Friends of the Juneau Public Libraries. Call 586-0442 for more information.
