Writers invited to island workshop 

Published on 24 February, 2005 

'Idiom 23' magazine is organising a Writers Workshop "A Sense of Place" to be held at North Keppel Island Environmental Education Centre from Friday April 29 - Sunday May 1 (2005).

PhotoID:1767 "Following our popular Pumpkin Island workshops, this one will be a little different as we are concentrating on Creative Writing and the Environment," coordinator Liz Huf said.

Dr Lynda Hawryluk (pictured) , CQU's new lecturer in literature and creative writing will be Writer in Residence. Lynda is a fiction writer and performance poet and is keen to meet and discuss contemporary writing with the participants. A sense of place and space will be a stimulating topic in the island environment.

Assisting Lynda will be two local published poets Kristin Hannaford and Louise Waller. Louise has produced both performance poetry and plays.

"Kristin has just received two awards for her multimedia poetry 'Wetlands' and 'Byfield' and we hope to see these on the big screen at the workshop".

The NKI Enivornmental Education Centre will handle all catering and has invited the group to stay in the centre's solar powered cabins.

Everyone interested in coming along to the weekend getaway and stretching those brain cells with some different concepts in writing are asked to contact Leonie Healey (CQU) on 07 49232516 or The Mill Gallery on 07 49391311 for particulars.
