SUMMARY:"From Poetry to Prose" Conference Workshop (Presenter)
DESCRIPTION:I’ll be presenting at the Maryland Writers’ Association– \nYou have a favorite piece of writing that you love but it never really went anywhere.  Or something you published but love so much that you’d like to see it in a fresh\, new way.  What can you do to give it new life?  In this fully interactive workshop\, you’ll turn a piece of prose into a poetry draft.  If you bring a piece of your own prose such as a short story\, essay\, or blog post\, you can work directly with that.  If not\, there will be samples to apply the techniques to during the workshop. \nUsing several prose works that Kari turned into publishable poetry as examples\, we’ll pull apart work and apply poetic devices to produce a poem draft.

SUMMARY:ROADTRIPPING PLANNING Workshop for Urbana 55+ community\, Part II (Speaker/Presenter)
DESCRIPTION:There’s so much travel information out there\, but how do you find it\, curate it\, and use it to plan your roadtrip? How do you form loops and calculate reasonable drive times? Whether you’re contemplating a one-week roadtrip or a grand Bucket List adventure\, this workshop will guide you in creating interesting routes\, finding unique stops and lodging\, timing different legs of a trip that involves fixed dates such as weddings or festivals\, and rerouting mid-trip without sacrificing the fun—while still leaving room for spontaneity! To get the most out of this two-day interactive workshop\, bring a laptop and/or smartphone\, as there will be opportunities for hands-on practice with internet searches and maps. While explaining her planning techniques\, Kari will share practical advice\, inspiring experiences\, cautionary tales\, and downright debacles—in RVs\, SUVs\, vans\, and sedans—from her cross-country roadtrips\, Germany’s scenic Fairy Tale route\, circling the Iberian Peninsula\, looping Ireland\, rounding the Great Lakes\, meandering through Normandy\, exploring out West\, skirting the southern coast of Iceland\, and driving throughout Central\, Western\, and Northern Europe. \n\nBIO \n\nKari Martindale\, a published writer and former travel blogger\, is a roadtripper at heart. She has visited all 50 States and over 40 countries. Since the 1990s\, she has been roadtripping throughout the US\, nearly 20 European countries\, and a portion of Canada. Kari’s roadtrips have ranged from less than a week to over a month; her Summer 2023 roadtrip traversed 27 States\, from MD to CA and back\, for a total of 9\,000+ miles over 40 days. \nShe has traveled solo as well as with family\, friends\, babies\, retirees\, dogs—and\, once\, her daughter’s fish. She has stayed in luxury hotels and sketchy motels\, castles and campgrounds\, Walmart parking lots\, a yurt\, and even the grounds of a small wildlife park. Kari is a poet and writer who has read across Maryland and performed at the White House. She has an M.A. in Linguistics\, sits on the Board of Maryland Writers’ Association\, is a managing member of EC Poetry & Prose\, and is a teaching artist for Armed Services Arts Partnership.

SUMMARY:Maryland Arts Summit (Attendee)
DESCRIPTION:I’m looking forward to attending the Maryland Arts Summit at UMBC for the first time.  Description: \n“The Maryland Arts Summit\, hosted at UMBC\, is a statewide conference presented by and for the Maryland arts sector\, which includes\, but is not limited to: Arts Advocates\, Arts Educators & Teaching Artists\, Independent Artists\, Arts Organizations\, Youth\, Community Stakeholders\, Arts\, and Entertainment Districts\, County Arts Agencies of Maryland\, Public Artists\, Boards of Directors\, and Folklife Artists. \nIt is an opportunity to network\, share the fantastic work that is being done across the state\, learn about communities different from your own\, celebrate the accomplishments of what we as a sector have achieved\, and\, through dialogue and action\, bring to light where systems have fallen short of the support required to help artists and organizations thrive. The Maryland Arts Summit is a place for productive conversations to move the Maryland arts sector forward and ensure its long-term success.”

SUMMARY:Prose to Poetry Workshop (Instructor)
DESCRIPTION:Have you been writing prose for a while now and you’d like to try your hand at poetry? Are you a seasoned poet looking for inspiration? Come learn some techniques to turn your old prose into new poetry! \nBring at least one piece of previous writing to the workshop: a favorite blog post\, an old college essay\, a short story–something you’d like to revisit.  Maybe something you always liked and would like to try a fresh spin on\, maybe something you’ve never quite been satisfied with but you had some nice wording in it that you just hate to waste.  Whatever piece you choose\, let’s turn it into something new! \n\nhttps://ecpoetryandprose.org/event/from-poetry-to-prose-online-workshop/
