DAIRY HOLLOW HOSTS POETLUCK

The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow will hold a virtual Poetluck at 6:30 p.m. March 18. Each Poetluck reader has received a WCDH fellowship, winning a writing residency at Dairy Hollow to focus on their writing project. Readers include Keija Parsinnen, Zenique Gardner-Perry, Stephanie Rosenbaum Klassen, Jami Nakamura Lin, Valerie Laken and Alison Moore.

WCDH fellowships are underwritten by individuals, organizations or corporations. Each unique fellowship is designed with input from the sponsor to support a specific demographic or genre of writing, or to honor an individual. Fellowships that are currently open or will open later in 2021 include My Time for parent writers, Moondancer for writing about nature and the outdoors, Emerging Poet for unpublished poets working on their first book, Celebrate! Maya Project for young writers who address social justice issues, Dancing in the Rain for writers of children’s and YA literature, and Real People, Real Struggles, Real Stories: Writing About Mental Illness. Visit the website for details about open and upcoming fellowships.

The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow will continue to host Poetluck virtually until it is safe to return to in-person readings. Readings may be poems, prose or songs, and writers are invited to share their work for up to ten minutes. A link to the virtual Poetluck and instructions for joining can be found on the website. Spectators may join a moderated watch party on Facebook Live at the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow page.
