All Aboard for a Mini Writing Retreat on a Private Historic Railcar!
In partnership with the Santa Fe International Literary Festival, join us for “Writing on the Rails” on the evening of Thursday, May 15th, for a mini-writing retreat led by Albuquerque’s Inaugural Poet Laureate, Hakim Bellamy. Riders will experience the gift of dedicated time and space to write prose and poetry, led by Hakim’s writing prompts and inspired by breathtaking scenery as the train travels through a high desert sunset. This is your chance to meet fellow writers and contribute your own literary voice to the conversations happening throughout the Literary Festival community.
Passengers should pack their favorite writing gear, whether analog paper and pens or electronic devices. However, please keep in mind this train is a classic model with no electrical outlets or Wi-Fi (all the better to keep you in the writing zone).
The train departs and returns to the Santa Fe Depot. Each ticket includes a seat in an enclosed train car and a complimentary champagne welcome as the literary adventure begins. Additional snacks and drinks can be purchased.
