Experience a Writing Retreat
The Writing Ranch and High Desert Museum are offering a unique weekend nature writing intensive at the Malheur Field Station, located near Princeton, Oregon.
Daily writing workshops led by High Desert writer and OSU-Cascades MFA instructor Ellen Waterston will be complemented by morning field trips and evening discussions led by naturalist and Museum Curator of Wildlife Jon Nelson and noted archaeologist Dennis Jenkins, field school director for the Museum of Natural and Cultural History at the University of Oregon.
Prompts will focus on returning both established and emerging poetry and prose writers to the page with renewed commitment and inspiration.
