Tayari's Blog: It's So Lovely Here

Greetings from Tomales Bay Writing Workshops in Marshall, California. As you can see, it's gorgeous here. I snapped the photo you see on the left right outside my bedroom door.

I'm teaching a class of about twelve students from various backgrounds. A couple have finished MFAs and some people are retuning to writing after years of pursuing other careers and there are folks representing all the places in-between. We met for the first time this morning-- three hours, but the time was over before we knew it.

I'll be giving a reading tonight along with Dorianne Laux and Judith Ortiz Cofer. Judith Ortiz Cofer was my mentor when I was in school at The University of Georgia. I hope she knows how proud I am to be working here beside her. It feels just, round and right.
