PHOTO ESSAY
A Deep Travel Workshop with Erin Byrne and New York storyteller Doug Cordell (seated right) |
Deep Travel is a unique venture, combining writing, storytelling workshops and travel in Morocco. This week they were based in Moulay Idriss Zerhoune, where they held a special evening hosted by Mike Richardson (Cafe Clock - Marrakech and Fez). Not only was the evening a sensational success, but the storytellers raised a generous donation for the Medina Children's Library in Fez
While Mike Richardson and his Scorpion House team put the final touches to the feast, the workshop storytellers gathered around a fire on the balcony to savour the poems of poet and artist Anna Elkins.
Anna Elkins poems as delicate as her paintings |
Anna Elkins, one of the workshop leaders, is the author of the illustrated vignette The Heart Takes Flight, the novel The Honeylicker Angel and a collection of poetry, The Space Between.
Following the poetry reading and a display of Omar Chennafi's fine photographs, the storytelling took a backseat as Mike and his team worked his famous culinary magic.
