SUMMARY:Poet as Radio Fall Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Poet as Radio: Writing from Intuition\nA 5-week online poetry workshop designed for folks with a wide variety of experience with poetry and with a keen interest in spirituality and the occult. This course is more than a workshop—it’s a journey into the unknown\, where you’ll discover hidden messages and ideas both from within yourself and the outside world. Through chance\, divination\, games\, and ritual\, you’ll learn to trust your intuition and let your spontaneity guide your writing. \nParticipants will engage in surrealist games to encourage spontaneity\, explore the poet as a receiver of intuitive messages\, and incorporate techniques like cut-up methods\, tarot readings\, and rituals into their writing practice. Readings will include works by Jack Spicer\, Hoa Nguyen\, and CA Conrad among others. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your poetic practice\, this workshop will provide you with the tools and inspiration to transform your writing. Join us to tune into the frequencies of your creativity and uncover hidden messages within and emanating from the world outside! \nSundays 3-5:00 PM Pacific Time\nNovember 10 – December 8\, 2024 \nNovember 10\, 17\, 24\nDecember 1\, 8

SUMMARY:2024 Poetry Postcard Fest
DESCRIPTION:Join us for 56 days of intuitive writing and join a growing and dedicated community of writers from around the world! \nOn July 4\, participants will receive a list of 31 other poets to whom they will write first-draft postcard poems until the end of August. Participants can buy postcards or make their own\, and everyone is encouraged to be as creative as they’d like! Founded by Paul Nelson and Lana Ayers in 2007\, the Poetry Postcard Fest is an exercise in spontaneous composition\, and a way for poets to not only connect to other poets\, but to learn to trust their own creative intuition by avoiding revision. The self-guided structure of the fest allows for flexibility with participant schedules\, but it is preferred for all postcards to be sent by August 31.   \nRegistration is open now! Further instruction\, resources and ideas can be found on the Poetry Postcard Fest page.
