Feel free to pass this on to others who might be interested. Austin Public Library is sponsoring a free writing workshop on Saturday, May 1 at the Hampton Branch at Oak Hill. The workshop is from 9:00 - 4:00 and you are welcome to bring a sack lunch. The library will provide light refreshments. The workshop is Empowerment through Stories and Poetry: A Writing Workshop Focusing On Home, Family, and Community. Ortiz, a native of Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico, teaches Creative Writing at the University of Toronto. His books for adults and young adults include Woven Stone, Earth Power Coming: Short Fiction in Native American Literature, and The Good Rainbow Road (June 2004). Pre-registration is preferred--call 892-6680. "What I do as a writer, teacher, and storyteller is to demystify language," says Simon Ortiz. Widely regarded as one of the country's most important Native American poets, Ortiz has led a thirty-year career marked by a fascination with language-and by a love of his people.
