Living Room Tuesday, April 24 Text Corpse (7p)

Text Corpse

Exquisite Corpse- a French Surrealist game in which a poem is passed around and participants add the lines with limited knowledge of what was previously written.

Text message- brief communication between two mobile devices.

We will be combining these two things. A prompt will be texted to everyone and then we will build a text corpse.

This will be a rare moment when you will be asked to bring your cellphone to a poetry event. Jeremy Springsteed is your fearless leader, but he is on another call right now. Leave a message & he’ll call you back as soon as he is able.

(Please no screeds.)” Still, we got many poems that were filled with righteous anger, on which we passed. The book features many poems that offer suggestions, pathways and even self-care tips for the new Winter in America. That very phrase “Winter in America” comes from Gil Scott-Heron, and was used by the editors as a sort-of invocation to Gil’s spirit and legacy. I
