POETICS AS COSMOLOGY CASCADIAN ZEN BASKET FOUR: BORDERS WITHOUT BINARIES
A five week online (Zoom) workshop for first-time and continuing participants in the online workshops facilitated by Cascadia Poetics Lab and Poetry Postcard Fest Co-Founder Paul E Nelson. Participate in reading and discussion of foundational essays, interviews, listening and other assignments, as well as spontaneous poetry composition exercises, in the second of three, five week courses to happen before next postcard season. In Winter 2025, we will explore passages from Cascadian Zen Vol II – Basket Four, and related texts and assignments. How can one’s poetics be a cosmology and maintain some experience of the Poetry Postcard Fest, to allow one’s life as a creative participant in the world to rise in one’s personal hierarchy of duties/activities? How is the projective poem an antidote to Silicon Valley attention fracking? $250 for each five week session per person, scholarships are available. Thursdays, 3-5pm Pacific Time (January 9, 16, 23, 30, and February 6).
