Lighthouse Writers Workshop

On Friday, August 9, Lighthouse hosted acclaimed memoirists and novelists Michelle Tea (author of over a dozen books, including "Against Memoir") and Esmé Weijun Wang (author of "The Collected Schizophrenias") at the Ricketson Auditorium at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science for Inside the Writer's Studio. The two authors read from their award-winning works, discussed their artistic processes, and answered audience questions live on-stage.

Lighthouse welcomed 2019 Fort Lyon resident writers Michael Fischer and Sarah Shotland for a reading and audience Q&A, where they read some of their own work, some Fort Lyon residents' work, and discussed the residency and their experiences.
