Are you a writer, or a teacher or student – of poetry, songs, fiction or non-fiction – who wants to sharpen your ability to describe scenes and to tell stories? Kerry Grombacher, a songwriter and music educator based in New Orleans, offers a workshop to help you “Jump Start Your Creativity.” This workshop will help you find inspiration for a broad range of creative writing and learn to be a better observer and a more expressive writer.
Grombacher will be in Guthrie on September 19 inside the Guthrie Cowboy Church beginning at 5 p.m. The church is located at 111 E. Oklahoma.
Students in the workshop will hone their own descriptive and story telling skills by asking (and answering): what do we see; what do we know; and what do we imagine? Grombacher stresses the use of strong descriptive language, literary and cultural allusions, and the power of story. Time will be spent in discussions, writing exercises, and focused writing sessions.
Grombacher is a noted songwriter who presents workshops on creativity and songwriting at music festivals, museums, libraries, and schools. His songs have been covered by recording artists including Gary Prescott, Trails & Rails, Duke Davis, The Texas Trailhands, Ed Stabler, Lorrie Keating, and Earl Gleason.
Grombacher is a “first reader” for several published novelists, short story writers, and authors of non-fiction, and the Texas Institute of Letters chose him as a judge for its 2008 literary awards.
A member of Phi Beta Kappa, the national academic honor society, he did undergraduate and graduate work at the University of Texas in the interdisciplinary American Studies program where literature, art history, folklore and ethnomusicology were among his concentrations.
