Berea Writers Circle meets the third Saturday of every month from 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm at the Madison County Public Library, 319 Chestnut Street, Berea, KY 40403. Programs include workshops, speakers, panels, and discussion on the craft.

​

Every month on the third Thursday, we co-host Spoken Word at 7:00 pm at the Berea Arts Council gallery at 444 Chestnut Street. Bring a few poems, flash fiction, or a five-minute excerpt to share or lend your ears and enjoy the company of other writers. Bar sales benefit the Berea Arts Council.

 

Change in Time, Location for October

The Berea Writers Circle has had two memoir presentations recently: Mary Owens told us about several generations of her family in Hold My Foot; and Vikki Brooks shared some of her experiences with integration in Life Frames.  We’re going to make it a threesome in the memoir genre.  We are suggesting that Berea Writers Circle members attend a program at the Berea Arts Council, featuring poet Steven Rhodes celebrating his newest collection Earthen Vessels:  A Family Memoir in Poetry.  The presentation will be from 3 pm to 4 pm on Saturday, October 18 at the Berea Arts Council, 444 Chestnut Street, Berea, KY, just down the street from the library.  We will be back at the library for our meeting in November at our usual time.  I hope everyone will be able to attend this presentation that blends memoir and poetry.
