This Generative writing workshop will focus on our connection to water and what that means for us as townspeople who are intimately connected to, and impacted by, the rise and fall of the Gihon and Lamoille Rivers. Our bodies are, on average, made up of roughly 60-75% water. But what does water is life mean in the aftermath of historic flooding? Together we will explore how the water holds us, how the water shapes our definitions of self and self-hood, and how water makes its own self known, proclaims its own self-determination. Writing Prompts and discussion questions will be provided.

This workshop will be led by Sarah Audsley, the author of Landlocked X (Texas Review Press, 2023).  She is a graduate of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, a member of The Starlings Collective, and is the Writing Program Director at Vermont Studio Center.
