In this workshop we will explore the making or creation process of Ekphrastic Poetry using visual and musical prompts and then we’ll explore mending our words by putting them to work.
We’ll briefly discuss the history and value of Ekphrastic Poetry AND we’ll take a deep dive into the editing process and the poet’s necessity to do work beyond the surface. We’ll discuss considerations around nuance, subject, form, and voice.
An Ekphrastic poem is a poem inspired by a work of art or other image that holds meaning to the viewer. The poem can tell the story of the scene in a painting, express the feelings of the poet as he or she looks at a piece of art, or even contain an imagined dialogue between subjects in the artwork or between the artist and his or her creation. Join award-winning poet and educator, Rayanne Haines for this hour workshop, with a lot of writing time, on Ekphrastic poetry.

Please join us for the launch of Fran Kimmel’s new novel, Cattail Lane.

Passionate about helping emerging writers, Fran leads the Brave New Writing program here at LPAC.

Description of Cattail Lane 
Nick Ackerman’s life is an aimless circuit between his uninspiring job and the local bar until a note from a stranger changes everything. He learns he has a 14-year-old son, Billy, whose grandmother can no longer look after him. Railroaded into fatherhood, Nick takes in the resentful Billy and shuffles Grandma Evie off to the nearby dementia ward at Prairie View Manor. Things get off to a rocky start: father and son are little more than strangers, and Nick struggles with his new caretaking role while Billy can’t seem to let go of his. Luckily, there is Sarah, a housekeeper at Prairie View and the single mother of an energetic and offbeat five-year-old. It is Sarah who Nick turns to as a parental role model and maybe something more.  Nick, Sarah, and Billy all carry their own betrayals and disappointments and are used to keeping others at a distance, but during the dog days of summer, they are given a chance to leave past hurts behind and find a new kind of family.
Compassionate and closely observed, Cattail Lane is a moving exploration of forgiveness, second chances, and the everyday moments where we might find our way to one another. Available for purchase at LPAC.

Book Launch: Cattail Lane by Fran Kimmel

Cattail Lane Book Launch

Participants will immerse themselves in the craft of writing, connect with other writers, and hear from authors through readings and workshops.
Join novelist and playwright, Fran Kimmel, as she welcomes participants. 
Author Katherine Koller will give you The Short Story on Short Stories: In this workshop, we will all begin plans for a new short story, or develop plans for an existing one. Short stories have a drive, a need, and heat that ends in change. We will listen for the call of the story, follow the heat, and chase the drive with time to test out mini-techniques on structure, character and dialogue. 
Delve into Writing with the Five Senses with Author Rayanne Haines: We experience the world around us through our senses, and they are how we navigate place, identify danger, seek stimulation, and form the memories through which our identities take shape. Translating rich sensory details onto the page enables writers to inhabit their characters and stories in ways that offer three dimensional, truthful experiences for the readers. And isn’t that what we strive for as authors in non-fiction and fiction? To make our worlds come to life? In this workshop we explore writing taste, sight, smell, touch and sound to create descriptions that will stay with your reader and improve your writing skills
Time will be set aside after each workshop for self-guided writing. Participants can stretch their legs and explore the facility and yard to find their perfect place to write. Writing prompts will be available to anyone needing inspiration.
Participants will be guided through a brief sound meditation, cleansing their palettes before breaking for lunch (provided).
The day will end with an opportunity to share some work and last thoughts.
Full schedule (times may be adjusted slightly, finalized timelines will be sent out prior to the retreat)

Praise for Rag Pickers by Blaine Newton: 
"Polished, often startling stories that come at you sideways, gathering force and momentum. Edgy and smart." —Jeanette Lynes, author of The Apothecary’s Garden
 
"I found myself re-reading these stunningly clever, and heartbreaking, and poignant stories and asking myself more than a few times – ‘How the hell did he do that?’" —Thomas Trofimuk, author of Waiting for Columbus and The Elephant on Karlův Bridge
 
Praise for Catch You on the Flipside by Lee Kvern:
“Current, urgent and utterly convincing, Catch You on the Flipside ties corrupt, Marcos-era Philippines to boom-bust Calgary of the early 1980s. Lee Kvern’s authentic, vividly drawn characters prove that everyone, peon or potentate, has an unexpected Side B.” — Richard Cumyn, author of This Lark of Stolen Time
 “Catch You On The Flipside is an international thriller that deftly draws together an assassination in Manila, the staff at a Calgary casino, and a stalked barista. The fresh deck of characters includes famous politicians, unlucky baggage handlers, nefarious gun toters, smoke show redheads, and idiosyncratic casino regulars. In crisp inimitable prose that shows she knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em, Lee Kvern deals round after round of suspense and asks: “If a butterfly flapped its wings in Calgary, would it set off a storm in the Philippines?” — Barb Howard, author of Happy Sands

Instructor Bio: 
Karen Scarlett – Western Landscape Artist
Karen grew up fifth generation on the family dairy farm west of Innisfail, Alberta. She has made art her entire life.
The “Queens of the dairy” held a royal spot on the farm and took up much of the energy of the Scarlett family existence. It was a great life.
Creating has been a lifelong adventure and an important part of life for Karen. Art was practiced with Grandma Scarlett where she learned and important lesson – try everything. A love of power tools and creative design were honed with her Dad while hand-craft, sewing and creating with a sense of perfection were inspired by her Mom.
Karen takes her biggest inspiration from her love, Doug. They live in Calgary, Alberta where Karen works from her home studio.
Recently, Karen obtained a commission for 150 pieces of art to be installed in the Royal Palm Hotel and Resort in Miami, Florida. It was thrilling to receive this international recognition.
You can find Karen’s work in private, corporate and commercial collections across North America and in various spots around the globe.

Workshop facilitated by HeART 2 HeART Intuitive Art and hosted at The Forum.
Come experience a soulful, intuitive painting ritual designed for pairs - friends, partners, family, kindreds—who are ready to connect beyond the surface and meet one another through energy and intuitive expression.Each person receives one canvas, half-covered. The invitation is to paint the energy they feel from their partner on the open half—tuning in deeply, beyond words or form. When both have completed their half, the canvases are exchanged. The painted side is covered (after we dry them), and the blank half is revealed. Each person then paints again—still sensing their partner’s energy—without ever having seen what came before.The final unveiling is often powerful, surprising, and beautifully affirming. Two interpretations of the same soul. A visual mirror. A shared frequency expressed in colour, shape, and flow.It’s an offering of deep presence, play, and sacred reflection—no art experience needed, just willingness to feel and witness one another.
 
Date: Saturday, April 26th
Time: Choose between 12:00pm or 2:00pm Each workshop is approximately two hours in length. 
Investment: $40 / person (all supplies included)
