The Tomales Bay Workshop
Join nationally known poets and writers, as well as respected editors and agents, in an intensive conversation about craft during the Tomales Bay Workshops Oct. 21-25.  Work closely with an established author, receive constructive feedback from a group of peers and generate new material.

Workshops are held at the Marconi Conference Center in Marshall, California, on the eastern shore of the pristine Tomales Bay, just north of San Francisco. The Center sits on a wooded hillside overlooking serene water and the mountains beyond and offers comfortable rooms, excellent food and inviting hiking trails. Come relax, learn and explore.

Albert and Elaine Borchard Foundation Keynote Speaker
Robert Hass, former U.S. Poet Laureate, is a poet of great eloquence, clarity and force, whose work is rooted in the landscapes of his native Northern California. His most recent book, Time and Materials, won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Widely read and much honored, Hass brings the same kind of energy to his work as an essayist, translator and activist on behalf of poetry, literacy and the environment.
