SUMMARY:Life as Rehearsal for the Poem Spring 2025
DESCRIPTION:A five week online (Zoom) workshop best suited for continuing participants and more experienced poets (open to open form) in 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\, part of a series of courses happening before the next postcard season. In Spring 2025\, we will explore passages from Cascadian Zen Vol 2 – Baskets Four & Five\, and related texts and assignments. How can one’s poetics be a cosmology and how can one maintain some experience of the Poetry Postcard Fest\, & allow one’s life as a creative participant in the world to rise in one’s personal hierarchy of duties/activities? How is the projective poem an antidote to Silicon Valley attention fracking? $250 for each five week session per person\, scholarships are available. Sunday nights\, 2-5pm PDT (April 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, and May 4) by invitation only. Preference given to participants who wish to commit to both five-week sessions in the 2025 season. \nApril 6\, 13\, 20\, & 27\nMay 4 \nLink to purchase Cascadian Zen Volume 2 \nAlso\, this essay on Investigative Poetry will be essential. Please read it before the course begins and come with questions or comments.
