Lakefly Writers Conference
Emilie Lindemann and Tara Huck enjoyed the opening reception for the Lakeshore Artists Guild Art as Poetry, Poetry as Art exhibit at the Manitowoc Public Library Friday evening. Both poets, they delighted in the response of visual art to their submitted poems. They also welcomed the challenge of writing a poem inspired by a piece of art. This collaboration of the arts held in Manitowoc, featured twenty poets and artists. It is on display at the library through September and a link to the full exhibit is in the comments.
Emilie is the author of "Ghost(ed) Woman & the Electric Purple Pants, which was published in 2025 by FWP. She will be leading a workshop on October 24th at the Wisconsin Writers Association Fall Conference, which will be held in Manitowoc this year.
Her workshop is "Discover your Next Chapbook . . . Curious?" Chapbooks aren’t simply short collections of poetry or prose. At this hands-on session you'll discover how to compile your interests and wonders into a cabinet of curiosities (on paper) and find combinations that might lead to your next chapbook.
This conference is perfect for writers of all levels; link in the comments.
