“Naming the Nameless: A Writing Retreat for Marginalized Voices” 

“Naming the Nameless: A Writing Retreat for Marginalized Voices” 

“Give name to the nameless so it can be thought. The farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives.” –Audre Lorde, “Poetry is Not a Luxury.”

A rare opportunity for beginning and experienced writers who love to write and create in community!  This tranquil 4-day 3-night writing and sharing getaway takes place May 27-30, 2022 in Lewes, DE at the Lazy L at Willow Creek B and B.

We’ll share our stories and proclaim our identities. We’ll give ourselves the space and tenderness it takes to be creative. Your participation lays a foundation for widening circles of storytelling and cultural healing in community.
