Short Description
Let’s write about the time things take, and what it’s like to be observers of ourselves and the lives around us. The gestation of a hamster is about 21 days; a cat is about nine weeks; a human, nine months; an elephant, 22 months; a book, sometimes five years.
Description
An Amherst Writers & Artists Affiliate and certified to lead workshops in the AWA method, Darlene brings wit and whimsy to her work with writers, both individually and in groups. For writers of all levels of confidence and experience.
Darlene is a writer, collage artist, walker, baker, and magnet for furry four-legged creatures. Her psyche and soul have long been nourished by the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Philip Pullman, C. S. Lewis, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and others, and others, and fairy tales from around the world. She’s excited to share from her experiences and adventure of writing richly from visual images and visual prompts——how Imagery can inform Story, and how Story then further informs Imagery.
