Bombs are messy when they explode, but also create problems if they don’t. So just how do you go about cleaning up an area that has been bombed, with potentially unexploded ordnance? Join us in welcoming Pamela Asbury Smith, who will present “Kaho’olawe: Bullets, Bombs, and Mascara.” She will detail her experience working as the Quality Assurance Archaeologist during the ordnance clean-up of Kaho’olawe, a Hawaiian island that had been bombed for over 50 years by the American military. Although she tromped all over the island, she didn’t get blown up!
We’ll have a delicious lunch, and a fun book drawing.
In our afternoon session, Writers Studio Tucson director Renee Bibby will present “The Important Role of the Persona Narrator in Writing.” Learn how the technique of the persona narrator can deepen your writing and make it more interesting to a reader. The lecture will be interactive, using example from some your favorite modern writers as a way into this unique narrative approach. The lecture will touch upon some Writers Studio methods but is focused on how all writers of all experience and level can benefit from an understanding of the persona narrator.
