2024 Summer Workshops
This workshop is part of the POETRY FESTIVAL
I’ve always liked poetry workshops. You meet a weird and interesting new group of people, you’ll write a poem you never imagined and you are turned on to work by poets you’ve never read before. I feel certain that will happen in August 2020. At the moment I don’t know where we are politically in America yet poetry is one of the abiding actions I feel constitute freedom of speech and the open and free sharing of ideas. I want us all to write poems that embrace landscape, politics, transness and queerness and all forms of sexuality, the right to dance and stay still. Pets have a place in poetry. We will let our animals speak through us and the night sky is full of messages and we will speak them in our work. Language is change so come ready. Get a new notebook, a new pen, bring your computer, and we will begin. I’m interested in drawing too as part of the process. Maybe we’ll also listen to a little bit of music.
