Writing Workshop Leader Karen Blomain
Karen Blomain, a Pushcart Prize nominee and the winner of two PEN Flash Fiction awards, will conduct a writing workshop in Santa Fe, New Mexico, October 6-13. Titled Personal Writing: Poetry and Memoir, the “project generating” workshop is open to writers at all level of achievement. Some seats are still available for local participants.
Blomain has taught writing workshops across the country and internationally in Ireland, Mexico, Russia and France. She is recently retired from the Professional Writing Program of Pennsylvania State University. A published poet and novelist, Blomain’s first novel was optioned by Barwood Films, a production company owned by Barbra Streisand. Recently she saw her first play, An American Wife, produced in a Pennsylvania equity theater.
With a reputation as a demanding, yet nurturing instructor, writers come away from Blomain’s generating workshops inspired. Nora Hussey, a writer and Wellesley College’s Director of Theatre Studies says, “The (workshop) time I spent with Karen was one of the most inspiring and spiritually uplifting experiences of my life. As an artist who works in academia, I know what it takes to bring creativity and daring to the process. Karen led with joy and intelligence and always brought truth to the table.”
