“On This Day”: Ways of Thinking About Daily Writing with Francisco Cantú
The Community LibraryA workshop with Francisco Cantú, Writer-In-Residence at the Hemingway House this month. Space is limited. Registration required. This craft class examines the act of writing as a daily practice, the same way many of us engage in meditation, exercise, gardening, or playing music. Since writing often feels like a fraught, mercurial act, we will explore various prompts, practices, and ideas for sitting down to write with levity and ease, while also considering how writing on any given date has the power to connect us to what happened on that day throughout history, and to all the other writers who have sat down to write on the very same day. This class will include a packet of date-specific writing by Ross Gay, Eduardo Galeano, Christa Wolf, Nicholson Baker, and others. Francisco Cantú is a writer, translator, and the author of "The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches From the Border," winner of the 2018 Los Angeles Times Book Prize and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in nonfiction. A former Fulbright fellow, he has been the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, a Whiting Award, and an Art for Justice fellowship. His writing and translations have been featured in The ...

Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards
Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards is nothing if not a culmination: the gathering of a select group of acoustic roots musicians at the zenith of their careers. Together, these women build something more than the sum of their already impressive parts. They create something wholly new–a fusion of the countless traditions and influences they each bring into the creative process. Best thought of as a collective rather than a fixed band, this ensemble has featured a rotating cast of unmatched talent over the years since its official founding in 2014 including the lineup for Sun Valley: Valerie Thompson (cello) and Isa Burke (of Lula Wiles, Aoife O'Donovan on guitar/fiddle). And of course, at its core lies Cortese herself–serving as both the gravitational center around which the group organizes and the creative engine that fuels the compositions that emerge from it. Performing live these artists produce music as rich and intricate as any symphony; as heartfelt and true as any country classic. Centered on the virtuosic string instrumentation of its members, Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards ties together driving rhythms, broad creative vision, and resonant harmonies to create music that sweeps you up in its current, carrying you away ...
