Turning Toward Life with a Pen in Your Hand: Exploring Poetry of Presence II
“What does it mean to be alive?”
Consider this an invitation to join your voice to the big conversation about that question. In this four-week series, we’ll converse with poems from Poetry of Presence II: More Mindfulness Poems, an anthology of poems that “crack open the tough stuff and spill out the light.”
Every class will consist of reading and unpacking poems, two sessions of original writing, optional sharing, and lots of talk about process. This is a chance to “practice mindfulness smack dab in the middle of our busy lives” through writing—partaking in wonder, embracing paradox, trusting life, and meeting our own lives as living poems.
Please have the book Poetry of Presence II on hand. Optional to have Rosemerry’s companion book Exploring Poetry of Presence II.
