Monson Arts Resident Showcase

Written By Damilola Onwah

I was just featured on a Monson Arts resident showcase after spending one month between October and November on a writing residency in the idyllic Monson, ME, a town on the edge of civilization. As I wrote in an Instagram post shortly after my return to regular civilian life, I cannot emphasize enough how perfect the timing of this residency was, how reviving it was to behold and be held in the quiet beauty of Monson. That I was able to come prepared, that my map held, then broke, but that the work got clearer and stronger regardless, is a blessing I will always count. Thank you, to my wonderful hosts at Monson Arts!

PS - Enjoy reading the showcase!
