POPO, the August POetry POstcard Festval was designed in part to give participants a sense of how to compose poetry spontaneously and to create community. For those who do want to go further in their knowledge and practice of spontaneous composition, there are still 6 slots in a six week Sunday night workshop called Poetics as Cosmology. The course begins on Sunday, October 4 (4-6pm PDT) and is $125 + a paypal fee of $3. See: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/splabman for registration and https://paulenelson.com/2020/08/23/poetics-as-cosmology/ for workshop details.

SPLAB Founder Paul E Nelson has studied this stance-toward-poem-making for nearly 30 years and hopes you can begin to experience the joy of spontaneous composition and begin to see the parallels between creating a poem and building a soul.

What end does politics serve? Surely it must serve ends beyond itself. Why seek greater bioregional autonomy? For self-determination. Yes, but what purpose in turn shall that value serve? None some may say, it’s self-justifying. But then it becomes an absolute unto itself which can be used to justify many different things, some questionable. Why not come right out at the beginning and say what you’re really for?
The primary purpose of seeking greater bioregional identity and autonomy is to serve the life of the place and its people as a whole. Indeed, the primary purpose of Politics is to serve the life of the place and its people on many levels in an equitable and sustainable way.
