Storyteller Michael Loader continued his monthly residency on Clevedon Pier with a reading of ‘Moon Dog Rising’ inspired by his night out with the Wolf Moon of 2021.
“I lie cocooned in my layers looking up through the eye hole of my bivvy to twenty bright stars and, under the watchful eye of Orion, I climb the dangling belt sure-footed, up the celestial ladder with imagination’s bare feet to rise from this blissful somnolence.”
The story featured music by Martin Solomon and was followed by a Prose Writing workshop where participants were encouraged to identify and distill a collection of words and phrases from a selection of objects and materials, prompts and stimuli, questions and discussion to develop their own piece, written from ‘something other than a human viewpoint’.
