Kathleen Dean Moore

Announcements

Along with Rick Bass and Holly Hughes, Kathleen will teach nature writing at the Thunder Arm Writing Retreat of the North Cascades Institute this summer. This is a Thursday through Sunday writing retreat at the edge of a spectacularly beautiful lake on the shoulder of Mount Baker. As we walk in the forest and write by the water, we all -- new writers and seasoned writers -- will learn techniques for powerful writing inspired by nature.

People who heard Kathleen speak at the AWP meetings in Chicago asked for the text of her speech. So we've posted it here, on the "talks and workshop" page. Kathleen spoke of the need for nature writers to act on behalf of the thriving of the natural world they write about with such affection.

On March 10, Kathleen delivered the Edelman Lecture at Portland's Pacific Northwest College of Art. She spoke about "The Work of a Writer in a World Gone Wrong." If you'd like to hear the podcast of her talk, you can find it at http://www.pnca.edu. Barry Johnson, a writer for the Portland Oregonian, featured her talk in his blog on March 11. Here's a link to his comments: http://blog.oregonlive.com/portlandarts/2009/03/are_these_the_best_of.html
