A five week online (Zoom) workshop for continuing participants in the online workshops facilitated by Cascadia Poetics Lab and Poetry Postcard Fest Co-Founder Paul E Nelson. Participate in reading and discussion of foundational essays, interviews, listening and other assignments, as well as spontaneous poetry composition exercises, in the first of three five week courses. This season we add a component of Spiritual Ecology, which will consist of weekly field work designed to deepen participants connection to place. We will also study Denise Levertov’s Overland to the Islands. (Levertov would have turned 100 October 24, 2023.) How can one’s poetics be a cosmology and maintain some experience of the Poetry Postcard Fest, to allow one’s life as a poet to rise in one’s personal hierarchy of duties/activities? $250 for each five week session per person, scholarships are available. Sunday nights, 4-6pm (Oct 15, 22, 29 & Nov 5 & 12) by invitation only. Max ten participants. Preference given to participants who wish to commit to all three five week sessions in the 2023/2024 season.
