All Ways Writing Circle

by

The All Ways Writing Circle offers time, space, community, and inspiration to get some writing done. This is for anyone who wants to write—in any genre—and would benefit from dedicated time. Facilitated by Lily Greenberg, participants will be offered a prompt, approximately 45 minutes to write, then a chance to share their work in a warm and supportive group setting. No experience needed, all genres welcome. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Admission is $12.
Participants are encouraged to register on Eventbrite. Walk-ins are also welcome, and can pay at the door by cash, check, or Venmo.
Starting July 11, 2024, our venue is Creative Arts Workshop https://www.arts-workshop.com/ , 171 Main Street Nyack, NY.

David Browne In Conversation With John Barry

by

David Browne is a senior writer at Rolling Stone, where he has written cover stories on the Grateful Dead, Whitney Houstom, Robin Williams, and Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes. His latest book, the seeds of which were planted during his years as an NYU student, is Talkin’ Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America’s Bohemian Music Capital, and he is also the author of seven other books, including biographies of the Grateful Dead, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Sonic Youth and Jeff Buckley. He lives in Manhattan.

A 25-year-veteran of newsrooms operated by the USA Today Network, John W. Barry’s passion for writing and love of music laid the groundwork for his book, Levon Helm: Rock, Roll & Ramble—The Inside Story of the Man, the Music and the Midnight Ramble. The book’s foreword was written by Ringo Starr.

Circle Up

by

Our weekly poets circle, Circle Up, is happening every Thursday night from 6 PM to 7 PM at X House in Nyack. This week, I’m thinking on doing a performance/delivery workshop, but usually we do either writing or editing. If you want weekly emails or texts about that, let me know and I can add you to the proper list. If you can swing it, cost is $5, paid directly to the venue.
