The Lost Art of the Letter—a writing workshop with Sheila O’Connor
Once, the letter held our experiences, hopes, secrets, and desires. Letters arrived from other places or were passed between people quite near. They were our way of sharing with another the hidden landscape of the heart. In this workshop, we will have fun returning to the letter. Whether our receiver is real or imagined, we’ll experiment with ways we can use the letter form to share our stories. Drawing on her experience writing her recent novel-in-letters, Until Tomorrow, Mr. Marsworth, writer and teacher Sheila O’Connor will lead workshop participants through a series of writing activities designed to experiment with the letter form. Bring paper and pen, and a creative spirit. No experience required.
The cost of the workshop is $20; space is limited. To reserve your spot, send a $20 check to Beagle and Wolf, 112-3rd St. W., Park Rapids MN 56470. Checks should be made out to Sheila O’Connor.
Book signing at 12:30
Sheila O’Connor will read from her latest book, Until Tomorrow Mr. Marsworth, and sign copies of the book.

The Wait: Love, Fear, and Happiness on the Heart Transplant List
Katie Carpenter, the Bemidji actress who recently played in Blithe Spirit at Long Lake Theater, and author Susan Cushman will be in the store to bring alive the diary entries from The Wait. The Wait is the true story of Jennifer Bonner, who was born in 1966 with congenital heart problems. Cutting edge medical procedures allowed her to live a normal life for a number of years.
While a student at Carleton College, Jennifer again faced heart failure and was put on the heart transplant list. The Wait is the touching story of the year she spent on the list. Join us as we hear her story through a dramatic presentation. We will have information available about becoming an organ donor.
