Writing Poetry [FULL]

 

On the principle of William Blake’s admonition to “see the world in a grain of sand” we will sometimes attend close up to the wealth of sensory details at the Farm, outdoors and indoors; sometimes zoom out to the limits of the cosmos and beyond, to ponder in verse the great metaphysical questions; and sometimes try embracing in a single poem both the close up and the far out.

No experience is necessary. Every poem will be a new beginning for us all.

Bring your favorite pen, and a notebook with a stiff cover, in case we write outdoors.
