In this episode, we chat with co-director of the Ohio Writing Project, Beth Rimer about all things OWP! As we dig into OWP’s summer offerings, we cover a wide range of topics...from OWP’s famous 4-week workshop to place-based writing--and even grammar!

The Ohio Writing Project specializes in professional development for teachers. OWP does on-site PD with schools as well as virtual, hybrid, and in-person courses teachers can take for college + CEU credit.
The Ohio Writing Project also features a masters degree program for teachers through Miami University. Featuring the renowned “4-Week”, the OWP’s Masters of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program is both practical and transformational.

“Retriever” by Sara L. Godwin
There are spaces within me I keep blank.
Thoughts I push out.
Ideas my right and left brain use to play keep-away from my consciousness.
I rearrange the furniture to cover up spots of recollection.
I hang pictures to hide events.
I dig holes, deep and dark,
to bury,
to forget.
But memory is a dog.
It hunts what I hide,
plays fetch,
lays at my feet all things I secret away,
like an offering.
Then he happily waits, tail wagging,
to start the game all over again.
A short story of Sara’s, “Afternoon Tea,” can be found in the September 2020 issue of www.brilliantflashfiction.com
