2010 Los Parronales 6th Season

Trickster Meets the Muse

with Lorri Neilsen Glenn
Santiago, Chile, January 17th – 30th 2010


What happens when imagination meets memory, when chance meets inspiration?
This workshop will give your writing new life, open you up to the lessons of the duende, and plumb the heart and soul of work you didn’t know you could do.

In this two-week South American guided writing retreat, we’ll engage in discussions and activities, listen to our muse, dance with our trickster, and come away with a stronger sense of the vitality and depth of our poetry and prose.

Each writer’s work is given individual attention and feedback; the balance of solitude and community at Los Parronales creates an environment ideal for digging deeper and aiming higher.

Suitable for writers of all levels working in poetry, fiction, or nonfiction.
Start fresh, bring work-in-progress, or both.

You will be asked to complete a short questionnaire and to send a writing sample beforehand.

A recommended reading list and a more detailed description of the writing retreat will be available in the summer of 2009.
