With quiet precision and emotional clarity\, Watson transforms absence into a living presence—something that shapes\, rather than empties\, the heart. These poems remind us that what is gone still breathes within what remains. \n“The Shape of Your Absence\, is a series of grief and remembrance poems for the woman I lived with for over a decade in my youth. She taught me a lot\, and I want to honor her\,” says Greg. \nIn this luminous and haunting collection\, Greg Watson measures the invisible contours of longing. Across delicate\, finely-wrought poems\, absence emerges not as emptiness but as a presence—an echo\, a wound\, a memory that shapes everything around it. \nArtist bios: \n \nGreg Watson is an award-winning author of twelve collections of poetry\, most recently ‘The Shape of Your Absence’ released in Spring 2026. He is also co-editor with Richard Broderick of The Road by Heart: Poems of Fatherhood\, published by Nodin Press. \nGreg is a native of Saint Paul\, MN and still resides there with his daughter. \n \nRenee Vaughan is a Minnesota-based artist who brings Sweden’s folk traditions to life through music\, dance\, painting\, and storytelling \n \nChristy Merry is a native Minnesotan\, an award-winning poet\, and a singer-songwriter. As an adult\, she lived\, wrote and performed in Chicago\, LA and NYC before returning to her home state\, where she now lives with her husband and two black cats. Chances are\, she wants to be your friend. Love and loss are frequent themes in her writing\, as they are in life.

When we know how myth functions we can make conscious decisions about when and why it can add resonance to our stories. \nWednesdays\, May 6\, 13\, 20 and 27\nOnline at 7:00-9:00pm Central Time\nTaught by Loren Niemi\nZoom link will be sent first day of class \n\n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button\nNote- After purchase\, tickets & receipt may arrive in your ‘Junk Mail’ folder  URL:https://americanschoolofstorytelling.com/event/personal-mythology-2026/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://americanschoolofstorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Personal-Mythology-e1776543341278.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="American School of Storytelling":MAILTO:americanschoolofstorytelling@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260508T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260508T203000 DTSTAMP:20260420T103811 CREATED:20260323T002042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260408T011323Z UID:10000636-1778266800-1778272200@americanschoolofstorytelling.com SUMMARY:Wayfinding the Wilds: Tracking A Myth DESCRIPTION:The wilderness has always held attention somewhere in the overlap of unrestricted fascination\, deep terror\, and enduring mystique. As a living symbol\, it represents the unknown and the unpredictable- the very medium of Life itself. \nDrawing on the languages of poetry\, music\, myth\, and story we’ll venture headlong into the underbrush of the timeless soul\, into the landscape of mystery and memory\, into the untamable grand story playing out all around us\, within us\, and as us. We’ll imagine ourselves into a larger pattern of kinship. \nCome armed with your curiosity and defenseless against wonder. This isn’t a show about seeking answers\, but about finding questions and celebrating mystery. \n\nArtist bios: \n \nNick Theisen is a poet who works with the languages of story and poetry in service to renewing our relationship with mystery\, reconnecting with our common humanity\, and remembering our relational self. He partners with communities in exploring and articulating their wider story of belonging and accompanying them in gaining a more rooted and expansive sense of vision through tending spaces that remind us of the participatory nature of being human.\nHis work is rooted in themes of wilderness\, interbeing and belonging\, mythic imagination\, and the ecological soul. Tracing the threads between self\, other\, and landscape\, he sees his work as a living engagement with the forest in both its literal and metaphorical senses- following the ancient and wild footprints of the mythopoetic tradition\, mapmaking with the compass of curiosity\, and pilgriming on a journey of tracking myth and mystery. \n  \n  \n \nAndrew Theisen is a multi-instrumentalist living in Minneapolis. He is a part of two groups (Sunny Duchess\, Witness Trips and the Compass Rose) along with filling in for other artists. Not confined by any one genre but inspired by all\, he gives musical voice to the song of the world as he hears it\, providing listeners a fresh and timeless tale of their place in the wider story. \n  \n  \n  \n\nTo register: \n\n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button\nNote- After purchase\, tickets & receipt may arrive in your ‘Junk Mail’ folder  URL:https://americanschoolofstorytelling.com/event/wayfinding-the-wilds/ LOCATION:AMSS\, 1762 Hennepin Ave South\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55403\, United States CATEGORIES:Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://americanschoolofstorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Wayfinding-the-Wild-Tracking-A-Myth-e1775610336193.png ORGANIZER;CN="American School of Storytelling":MAILTO:americanschoolofstorytelling@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260510T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260510T153000 DTSTAMP:20260420T103811 CREATED:20260323T002133Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260410T005950Z UID:10000637-1778421600-1778427000@americanschoolofstorytelling.com SUMMARY:Jules' Poetry Playhouse DESCRIPTION:FREE EVENT!
