Dear Poets,This is a reminder that our next Just Poets meeting is after Labor Day. We will meet
Saturday, September 10: 1:30 to 4:00 PM at our usual meeting place at St. John Fisher
College 3960 East Avenue in Rochester (COP conference room of the Campus Center
(2nd floor) up the stairs to your left)
In the first part of the meeting I will be presenting a powerpoint, What in the World is
Poetry. Based on interpretations of Ezra Pound's injunction, Make it new, I invite you to
join me in examining the ways we pay attention to poems and possibilities for deepening
our appreciation of them. What universals link great poems across cultural barriers and
across time? What windows in our own world vision do we learn from their translation?
Whether language of nature, art, music, sign language, dance or silent traces, no matter
your background, the goal of the talk is to leave you with an urge to talk to your muse,
and tap into new ideas for your writing. If time permits, we will test contemporary
poems against those revived from the classics in the 20th century. Following the
presentation, there will be the usual workshopping of poems with Colleen Powderly. The
other facilitator will be announced at the meeting. Remember to bring 10 -12 typed
copies for sharing.
This is an ideal time to consider inviting A NEW FRIEND! If you are a teacher, bring
your students. If you have met someone who has never tried poetry and is curious why
you are smitten with the poetry bug, bring them!
See you there! Kitty
See you there! Kitty
Just a few of the events that have come across my desk that I thought might interest you !
Here's a poem for you!
Time for change
is always there
it is the one constant in the universe
and gives us all kinds of new material.
