PIGGOTT, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas military veterans will have the chance to develop their personal creative writing, share work and receive feedback from others during a weekend retreat later this month.
The Hemingway-Pfeiffer writing retreat is July 24-26. The event is named for Ernest Hemingway, who wrote portions of A Farewell to Arms at the home of second wife Pauline Pfeiffer in Piggott. During the expenses-paid weekend, Hemingway’s studio will serve as the gathering spot for veterans who share a love of writing to interact with others.
Writers will contribute stories, poems and essays to be published onsite in a spiral-bound souvenir anthology given to each participant.
The retreat is held in partnership with the Arkansas Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
