If you have procrastinated about reserving for the Lost in Place writing workshop, September 8-11, now’s the time for action! Just a few spots remain in the weekend writing intensive presented by the High Desert Museum and Writing Ranch. The workshop takes place at PLAYA, an artists’ and scientists’ residency campus in Summer Lake, Oregon. High desert writer Ellen Waterston will lead the writing intensive. Daily generative writing sessions will be informed by morning field trips and evening discussions led by Jon Nelson, Curator of Wildlife at the High Desert Museum, and noted archaeologist Dennis Jenkins, Field School Director for the Museum of Natural and Cultural History Museum/University of Oregon. Cost of the workshop is $750 which includes lodging and all meals except breakfast Friday and Saturday mornings.
The workshop starts Thursday evening, September 8, and concludes midday Sunday, September 11. The weekend will focus on returning both established and emerging poetry and prose writers to the page with renewed commitment and inspiration. This is the second consecutive year Lost in Place has been offered.

The workshop is a component of the High Desert Museum’s literary series and its commitment to strengthening and supporting the literary arts and humanities in the High Desert region.
