What is “Leeside?”

The Unshored

By Maggie Lee

Workshop: August 10th-14th
Reading: August 15th, 7:00 PM

The Leeside of a boat is the side that is harbored by the wind.  If you turn toward the Leeside you are traveling “leeward.”  Like our nautical metaphor we are creating harbor for writers by providing space, time, and resources to create work outside of the blusters of traditional play mechanisms.
