Three Things: The Tree Edition, II
‘Tis the season for bringing trees into our homes. This week, let’s gaze at that tree, or another tree, and write.

This week’s Three Things is all about the slow burn. Below are three things literally burning slowly… that hopefully inspire some stories that burn a bit more metaphorically.

This Thursday, please join the Hazel & Wren team at Rosalux Gallery in northeast Minneapolis for Incident: A Reading, in collaboration with the current exhibition, “Incident: Rebecca Krinke and Duane Ditty.” A night of community, art, feathers, —and of course, writers— the evening will feature three local poets: Timothy Otte, Brett Elizabeth Jenkins, and Opal McCarthy.
This week, I’ve collected three images inspired by Krinke’s and Ditty’s “Incident” show, and which should in turn provide some inspiration you. Incidentally, these three images are also excellent preparation for Thursday night, when we’ll be writing a collaborative, audience-generated poem inspired by the artwork. Sound like fun? Good. See you there.

Three Things: The Solitary Walk Edition
A good, long, solitary walk is good for the soul. This week we’re taking another moment of solitary reflection, this time on foot. When you get home, make sure your pen and paper are ready, dear writers. You’ll need ’em, I promise.
