Mindful Poetry Gathering - October 23rd, 2024

A portal to new ideas and new poetry.

Thank you to all who attended our Mindful Poetry Gathering! We listened and contemplated the poem "The Poet as Setting" by Douglas Kearney. Special guest Troy Bronsink opened our session with a meditation focused on addressing the "jolts" that sometimes strike us in our lives, and writer, activist, and long-time Mindful Poet, Holly Brians Ragusa facilitated our deep dive into the poem.

PROMPT: In your poem be mindful of the jolts that have thrust you against walls of your own or others’ making.

  • Set yourself as or at a different table than where you comfortably sit.
  • Spread your flesh, be vulnerable for the sake of your creativity.
  • Speak as yourself, the reader, painter, hunger, stomach or even the streetcar!
  • Set yourself in a scenario that darkens or deepens what you and others see in the setting of you.
  • Include the element of shock or jolt, lightning bolt
  • Include sensory element(s)
