“THE IDIOT’S GUIDE TO INSPIRATION”
with Kevin Fisher-Paulson
April 10, 2024, 7pm to 9pm
1625 Salvador Avenue, Napa
Napa Valley Writers will feature Kevin Fisher-Paulson, a weekly columnist for The San Francisco Chronicle. Kevin will discuss creativity and how to leave the door open. He will discuss inspiration, and the fact that you don’t have to look for it. You just have to open your eyes. Kevin will provide practical in-class exercises in how to live a creative life, and he will suggest out-class exercises to change the direction of our lives.
Kevin’s work has appeared in three books: A Song for Lost Angels, a finalist in the Benjamin Franklin Awards and the Next Generation Indie Book Awards; When Love Lasts Forever; and the recently published How We Keep Spinning. During the course of this writing, Kevin has discovered a few truths about foster care, adoption, gay marriage, interracial families, rescue dogs and cupcakes. He studied Writing and Communication at the University of Notre Dame, with subsequent coursework at the University of Iowa Writer’s Workshop. He also studied writing with Dorothy Allison, Kat Mead and Jessica Hagedorn. He contributes irregularly to National Public Radio.
Yvonne Baginski will be April’s Member Reader.
