Five writers and their manuscripts, years in the making, each echoing a lifetime of attention to language and craft. The 2012 edition of the poetry master class met summer nights on the Lighthouse front porch, but the journey took us from the confines of the Lane of Beggars to the vast backdrop of plains behind a derelict ranch, from the ordeal of a public indecency charge to the aftermath of a child's drowning and the comfort of a nihilist's lullaby. These were our travels and you are invited along as five of Lighthouse's best poets reprise their magic.
The readers are:
- David J. Daniels
- Andrea Doray
- J Diego Frey
- Roxanne Banks Malia
- Kathleen Willard.

The fourth annual celebration of several Lighthouse members and faculty and their forthcoming books. We will hear the ins and outs of the process they enjoyed (or endured) in getting their manuscripts from crazy first idea and into actual print.

The Panelists:
- David Daniels, Breakfast in the Suburbs
- Peter Stenson, Fiend: A Novel
- Joanna Ruocco, Another Governess / The Least Blacksmith: A Diptych
- David Rothman, Part of the Darkness and The Book of Catapults

Other than eating beans straight from the can and canceling cable, there’s really no consensus about the best way to prepare for the writer’s life. So we’ve put together a panel of writers who have pursued an array of options for their writing education—all with great results. Join fiction writer Gary Schanbacher (Crossing Purgatory and PEN/Hemingway finalist Migration Patterns), poet Elisa Gabbert, MFA (The French Exit), novelist Carleen Brice (Orange Mint and Honey and Children of the Water) and poet and fiction writer Seth Brady Tucker, MA, PhD (Mormon Boy) for this lively, filibuster-free Writer’s Buzz panel.

On January 5, 2012, Lighthouse threw its first Open House since moving to 1515 Race. We welcomed all newbies (and those interested in returning to the fold). Our resident workshop advisor, Catherine Hope, started the initiation process with a talk titled "Intro to the Writers Workshop". A reception followed where members new and old met Lighthouse instructors, staff, and other members while sampling some light eats and drinks. The night ended with wonderful readings by faculty members Catherine Hope, John Cotter, Doug Kurtz, and Jennifer Itell.
