Weekend Poetry

It is always great to have new input from other writers.  

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to participate in a weekend of creative writing with poet and facilitator Ruth Everson. She has a gentle and infinitely interesting manner of teaching and presenting workshops.

Ruth led the group through many variations of creative thought. We were taken from her own poetry  readings to Koans and 'quick think' writing. 

All I have to do now is start writing again.

Here's to many more happy hours of creativity.

March Matters

I am delighted to say that the poems are being edited. Brain Walter has such a great eye for the fine honing needed for finding the essence of the poem. 

So from merely words on paper, the poems are beginning to sing.

I feel that poetry should be viewed as a whole experience so I have begun to print and decorate the poetry in a more creative way. It may not be academically acceptable - but who says that's the way to go? 

Away to Namibia now and looking with new eyes at the vast open dunes and open skies.
