THE LEAN SEASON:
WINTER WRITING WITH
SPACE AND STILLNESS
Matt Daly
This virtual workshop with
Matt Daly will meet Saturdays in
January, beginning Jan. 8, from
10-11:30 a.m. each session.
Registration is $180 or $160 for
Fishtrappers.
In this four-week workshop
participants will “get outside
and take our time noticing how
cold, low light and snow still the
noise in us and the bustle of
our perception.” Weekly online
gatherings will allow time to
share reflections and writing
from the week, to explore writ-
ing that navigates stillness skill-
fully, and to practice the craft of
quiet composition.
Daly is the author of the
book-length collection “Be-
tween Here and Home” and the
chapbook “Red State.” He is the
recipient of a Neltje Blanchan
Award for writing inspired by
the natural world and a Creative

BAD LOVE POEMS

meet Saturdays in February,
beginning Feb. 5. Sessions are
from 10-11:30 a.m. Registration
is $180 or $160 for Fishtrap-
pers. Writers of all levels and
experience are welcome.
Participants will explore and
challenge the conventions of
love poetry: “From odes to bla-
zons to plaints to elegies, we’ll
Jayme Ringleb
investigate some of poetry’s
most common love languages,
and we’ll use those languages
to write toward our own experi-
ences and understandings of
“bad love” — love that’s been
lost or unrequited, love that
haunts and love that intoxicates,
traps or deceives.”
Ringleb’s debut poetry
collection, “So Tall It Ends in
Heaven,” will be published by
Tin House Books in 2022, and
his poems have appeared re-
cently in Poetry, Kenyon Review
and Ploughshares. He is an
assistant professor of English
at Meredith College in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
