This my father, Lt. Colonel Raymond Wilfrid Boyden, a World War II combat physician who was awarded the DSO. Today I always think of him, and try to picture in my mind some of the countless men and women who went away on our behalf. ~ Joseph Boyden

Aspiring Writers Workshop kick starts on Tuesday, November 16, 2021 with novelist Joseph Boyden.

Bio: Joseph Boyden is an author and writing mentor. His novels include Three Day Road, Through Black Spruce, and The Orenda, which have won awards such as the Giller Prize and France’s Prix Literaire du Monde, and have been published in more than twenty languages.

Workshop Includes:
* Four weeks of classes, meeting once weekly for three hours. Admission is based on a short writing sample.
* Minimal enrolment is four writers with a cap of six writers.
* Two one-on-one consultations with Joseph.
* Dispersed throughout the four weeks, Joseph will introduce you to “The Writer’s Toolbox,” a compendium he’s gathered over the years, presented as a number of short and enlightening talks. These conversations examine, in detail, the concrete aspects of fiction, including character, summary, dialogue and point-of-view, among many others. As the workshop proceeds, Joseph will help guide you in your hands-on learning as you grow more comfortable wielding these tools in your own writing. Handouts summarizing these short lectures are shared.
* A central focus of these 4 weeks is the opportunity for you to share at least one fiction submission with the rest of us (beyond sharing weekly writing exercises). In a safe and comfortable environment, your work will be constructively workshopped “live” by Joseph and your peers according to the “Iowa Workshop” style. Take your craft to the next level by listening as others discuss your work thoroughly and insightfully. In turn, you’ll absorb valuable knowledge by getting the chance to read and discuss the work of your peers.
* Joseph assigns you weekly specific, and practical writing exercises focused on developing your skill sets along with the purpose of germinating new and original story ideas. You’ll be offered the chance to share the fruits of these exercises with Joseph and your peers.
* Over the course of the workshop, Joseph will create an individual reading list of modern and contemporary writers specifically developed for you and your project.

"از میان صنوبر های سیاه"
.
داستانی سرشار از اندوه، عشق آتشین، دشمنی های خونی کهن، ناپدید شدن های مرموز، آتش، سقوط هواپیما، قتل و روابطی که یک خانواده و یک ملت را در کنار هم قرار می دهند
.
این کتاب در ادامه معرفی کتاب دیشب (جاده سه روزه) است.
.
🎥از این کتاب فیلمی هم ساخته شده با عنوان
Through black spruce
.
📃وقتى چیزى را از دست مى دهى، چیزى که تمام دنیاى تو است، دو انتخاب دارى؛ غرق شدن در خاکستر چوب هاى سوخته، در ذره هاى پارچه‌ى پوسیده شده و تکه‌هاى سیاه شده‌ى ظروف غذا و آلبوم‌هاى نم گرفته‌ى عکس که حاصل زندگى‌ات بوده است و پیدا کردن چیزى در درونت که تو را به حرکتِ دوباره وادار کند.

"جاده سه روزه "
روایتی چشم نواز از مشارکت بومیان آمریکای شمالی در جنگ جهانی اول است. دو راوی هر دو از اعضای قبیله بومی کری هستند و داستانهای موازی از طریق فلش بک به میدان های نبرد اروپا رخ می دهد. و یک منطقه دور افتاده از کانادا.
یکی از راویان ، خاویر ، مرد جوانی است که به همراه پسر عمویش داوطلب می شوند و در اروپا تک تیرانداز می شوند. ما آنها را دنبال می کنیم که آنها به عنوان سرباز بزرگ می شوند و تغییر می کنند و می بینیم که خاویر چگونه پس از بازگشت به خانه تحت تأثیر جنگ قرار می گیرد.
راوی دوم ، نیسکا ، یک خانم مسن پزشکی است که سه روز از روستای کوچک خود با قایق رانی می رود تا خاویر ( خواهرزاده اش وایلیا که در جنگ بزرگ برای ارتش کانادا می جنگند) را به خانه بیاورد و در این راه داستان های دوران کودکی خود را به اشتراک می گذارد.

“You get good and bad moments every time you sit

“You get good and bad moments every time you sit down to write. Often, more bad moments than more. But then the good moments start appearing, and they’re the ones that will take over.” ~ @sw_writersworkshop @joseph.boyden

On September 30th and every day, I think of my mot

On September 30th and every day, I think of my mother Celine Mackenzie Vukson who is a residential school survivor. I've noticed that she likes to stay busy with her hands — cooking, beading, tanning, quilting and scrubbing floors over the years—as she grieves and says prayers for all the children who never made it home. She's taught my sister and me to hold our babies tight and kiss their little faces and hands—a hundred times a day. 🧡
