Festival Provençal - Scribes & Troubadors

          FESTIVAL PROVENCAL 

this past Saturday 3/31/12 evening at the Ridgefield Library was wonderful.

Local scribes and troubadours shared poetry, prose, performance and music from around the world. Chile, France, Britain, Greece, various parts of the U.S. and other far away places. Tales of real life adventures (along with a few imagined) and exploration, the written word spoken with grace, songs and music that lifted one's spirit, all touching the heart, along with a good dose of wit, raw and refined, that had us all laughing out loud.

What a treat to partake of such amazing talent! A fantastic evening!

Thank you for your generous spirit and sharing your creative vision with us all.

Wishing you the best,

Lise Rondum

This week we want to congratulate Aurora Lopez, who completed our Life Writing course with Patti Miller. Aurora has been living in the US and working on her memoir – a chapter of which she’s had published! Here’s what she wrote to us:

I completed a course with Patti Miller on memoir writing, which I adored. It was the beginning of the most exciting adventure for me. I moved to the US three years ago, and amidst the publishing jungle of New York, I have been lucky enough to have a chapter of my memoir The Secret Drawer published in the 17th issue of the literary magazine 34th Parallel: http://www.34thparallel.net/folks-17.html

Thank you to Patti and thank you for your courses and newsletter!
