SUMMARY:TESS GALLAGHER WORKSHOP Stimulating the Satori Moment in Poems
DESCRIPTION:Satori is a Japanese Zen Buddhist term for awakening comprehension: deep understanding. It is derived from the Japanese verb satoru\, “to know”. But rather than intending a philosophical concept of knowledge\, satori concentrates instead on “acquiring of a new point of view in our dealings with life and the world.” It is another name for reaching Enlightenment. In poetry it means a moment (often culminatingmoment)\, when the poem wakes us up\, startles us into a new awareness.This class will ask writers to take simple elements such as the moon\, water\, a bridge—or other sets of catalysts and attempt to stimulate this moment. As example I give my own poem: \n \nAnother famous example would be James Wright’s poem “A Blessing” which ends: “Suddenly I realize/That if I stepped out of my body I would break/ Into blossom.” \nThis word “suddenly” is a clue to the effect the satori moment creates. One suddenly is overtaken by a feeling\, a conjunction of forces\, a lightning strike of transport that breaks open the moment so freshly one can’t ever think the same way again. Please bring and share your satori moment poems if you have already written some\, but the real objective will be ultimately to write some fresh poems in this mind andfrom them to realize in discussion how that moment is taking place. \nREGISTER NOW\n
