https://youtube/watch?v=gWGhNiS4RCM Poetry as Storytelling II with Jim Moreno, October 5, 12, 19, & 26, 2014 @ San Diego Writers, Inc. To register go to web site and click on classes. Earlier this year in Poetry As Storytelling I (PAS I), San Diego Writers, Ink poets discovered the historical role of storytellers in many societies. Starting with how a container of writing safety is strengthened by the personal, familial, and cultural values of each poet, this course discovers the writer’s muse through diverse narrative poetry forms. PAS I was a model for writing within a palpable container of respect and personal exploration. Poetry As Storytelling II has verse with roots in Poets of the North, Asia, Native America, & South America as well as poetry from the instructors’ personal library and original verse. This poetry workshop on 5 Sundays in October will whet the poetic appetite of writers searching , not only for writing community, but writing from personal truth or personal fiction. Poetry As Storytelling II continues the safe container for your poetic odyssey, the inner journey that reminds the writer, as Antonio Machado wrote, “Wanderer your footsteps are the road...wanderer, there is no road―only wakes upon the sea”. Poetry As Storytelling II receives many prompts as wakes from ancestor to contemporary, from Occident to Orient, from secular to spiritual, from rhymed to free verse. As our world seems to plunge more into chaos, war, and meaninglessness, Poetry as Storytelling II invites an existential inner search with pen or keyboard bringing meaning to senselessness, bringing heart light to the endless maize of attempting editorial perfection. Poet/Storytellers will carve out time to honor and amplify historical threads in the spirit of business-less-ness, aka, the joy of writing in community.
