SUMMARY:Quarry Farm Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes (The ARTS Council) and poet\, Michael Czarnecki\, for a poetry workshop at historic Quarry Farm in Elmira\, NY\, on Thursday\, September 17\, from 6-8pm.\n\n \n\nQuarry Farm was the summer retreat for Mark Twain and his family. Some of Twain's most famous works were fully or partially written at Quarry Farm.

Michael will lead us through some exercises to get us thinking about writing inspiration\, and then we will have free time to roam the grounds of Quarry Farm to explore and write before we come together on the veranda to end our day\, just as Mark Twain did\, reading our work together. Please note that we will not be allowed inside the house.\n\n \n\nParking is available onsite at Quarry Farm. If you're planning to attend\, pull into the driveway and follow the drive behind the red barn on your right to the parking field behind the barn.
