Lighthouse Writers Workshop LitFest 2010
Salon: The Art of Literary Mentorship

Apparently, Gertrude Stein was one for Ernest Hemingway, Tina Turner for Mick Jagger, Charlie Brown for Stan Marsh—every one of these mentor-student relationships provided inspiration in both directions. How can you shape a useful, energetic, and inspiring literary partnership? We'll chat with some pairs from our own workshops, including William Haywood Henderson (Augusta Locke), workshopper Greg Jalbert, and others as they tell tales about the symbiotic relationships between writers, and how you might go about establishing your own. Come early to get a seat and order food and drinks.

Going Native: A Talk with Chris Ransick and William Haywood Henderson
(In association with The Tattered Cover and Lighthouse Writers)
Saturday May 22, 6:00 PM
Tattered Cover LoDo, 1628 16th Street, Downtown Denver
Join us in celebrating William Haywood Henderson, one of Lighthouse's brightest, best, and most tenured teachers, and a fine writer, too, if we do say so. Poet Chris Ransick and Henderson track the unique process of writing and publishing a first novel—twice.

Public Talk: "From Obsession to Story"—William Haywood Henderson has written three (working on number four) novels set primarily in Wyoming. His characters are often solitary figures facing tough odds in a daunting environment. Why does Henderson return to these landscapes and themes, and how does he keep from just telling the same story over and over? Henderson will read excerpts from his novels, talk about sources of inspiration, and try to show how a writer's obsessions inform and, ultimately, control the stories he tells.
