The Berkshire region has long been an enticing place for writers. In this informal journaling workshop, we’ll read brief excerpts from four prominent authors who lived and wrote nearby: W.E.B. Du Bois (of Great Barrington), Nathaniel Hawthorne (of Stockbridge), Herman Melville (of Pittsfield), and Edith Wharton (of Lenox). We’ll consider their ties to the area and try some brief writing exercises of our own. No prior writing experience or literary expertise necessary. All adults are welcome to attend. Please bring a notebook and a pen.
