Reading and writing poetry can lead us to the deep places in our minds, hearts and spirits where we are most alive and most eager to reach out to known and unknown worlds. We will promise ourselves and each other to write a poem a day for each of the days of the workshop. You will receive wildly varied invitations for your writing inspired by many traditions, such as Irish croons, psalms and Japanese haiku. During our time together, we will explore the art and craft of poetry and listen to and respond to each other’s writing. At the end, we will compile a small anthology. Poets of all kinds are welcome.
