Explore the craft of writing

BRATTLEBORO- Dartmouth writing instructor Julie Kalish will lead an interactive exploration of the craft of writing at Brooks Memorial Library, 50 Main Street, on Wednesday, January 2, at 7 pm.  Her talk, “Finding Your Voice in 2019,” is part of the Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays lecture series and is free and open to the public.
Kalish’s talk is for anyone with New Year’s resolutions to write or those just wanting to write more clearly and deliberately. She will explore with the audience the principles of context, audience, tone, purpose, and message.
Kalish is a lecturer with the Institute of Writing and Rhetoric at Dartmouth College, where she teaches courses in writing and public policy.
The next Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays lecture at Brooks Memorial Library will be “The Making of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men” on February 6, at 7 pm. Middlebury professor Tim Spears looks at the 1941 publication of “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men,” a depiction of the lives of southern sharecroppers, writer James Agee and photographer Walker Evans.
