*All who attend are expected to participate as writers in the workshop. Space is limited so sign up now! No prior writing experience is required. We welcome everyone with a story to tell.

David Glover and Morninglory.

David Glover (he/him) - Workshop Leader

David Glover is an artist drawn to telling needed stories; stories that challenge comfort, question vulnerability, and press at the potent roots of trauma and healing. His artistic body of work centers on identity, history, and home with a focus on the complexity and measures of Black life, love and liberation. 

David has previously performed in the Keepsake House shows From Story to Song (2021 & Jan 2023), Foresight, and Lighting Sparks and was a 2022 Keepsake House Artist in Residence.

Morninglory (she/her) - Songwriter

Accomplished vocalist, actor, and writer, Livvy Marcus performs atmospheric folk music under the name “Morninglory,” her legal middle name. Born and raised in southern Massachusetts, Livvy graduated with a bachelor of music from BW Conservatory in Ohio. Her debut album, “Livvy Marcus Eats Her Shoe,” was released on all platforms in March 2022. She hasn’t gone a day without chocolate since 2018 and would generally always rather be singing. Do you like dancing? Do you sometimes live in the liminal space between giggling and crying? 

Morninglory has previously performed in the Keepsake House shows Foresight, Lighting Sparks, From Story to Song, and Outside the Lines and was a 2022 Keepsake House Artist in Residence.
