During our recent trip to Washington D.C. to attend the annual AWP (Association of Writers & Writing Programs) we had the pleasure of attending an event at the legendary Politics & Prose bookstore hosted by Iceland Writers Retreat alum Dr Nicole Miller. The wonderful evening of memoir and discussion featured readings from Phillip Lopate, Richard Hoffman, Brandel France de Bravo, Dorian Fox and Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich. Although they were all great, we have to say that our favourite was delivered by Nicole herself who entertained us with her colourful and humorous account of her experience at the Iceland Writers Retreat. Thank you, Nicole, for a terrific evening. We had a fabulous time!
