Molly's new Internet workshop for women
A Voice of Your Own
How to write intimately, truthfully, and fearlessly about your own life in the tradition of Mary Oliver and Anne Lamott.


 

Molly is a poet and radio commentator based in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California. She’s the author of the poetry collections Listening to Winter, and Salt Water Poems, and the collaborative chapbook Terrain, with her friends Dan Bellm and Forrest Hamer, as well as the CD of radio essays Using Your Turn Signal Promotes World Peace. She’s received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the California Arts Council, and won the Dogwood Prize, the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Prize, and the Billee Murray Denny Prize.

Molly teaches private classes in her home and at U.C. Davis Extension. She’s one of 150 poets with California Poets in the Schools. For a schedule of upcoming classes, please visit her website www.mollyfisk.com.

Molly learned to write a poem every day at the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley, which she’s attended four times (1992, 1995, 1998, 2004). She likes the process so well that she encourages her students to apply. One year, none of them were accepted. Because Molly couldn’t have them all come spend a week at her house and write, she designed an on-line version of the process to see if that would work. It was so successful that Molly “went public” with it in January, 2003. Poetry Boot Camp participants now come from all over the world — Cyprus, Guam, England, Portugal, Canada, the South Pole — as well as the United States, and include quite a few Community of Writers alumni who want a chance to practice this productive technique during the 11 months when that workshop isn’t in session.
