(Soma)tic Poetry Workshop, PHILADELPHIA,
July 11th, 2010
REGISTER BELOW
(limited number of participants)
In honor of July 11th being the anniversary for the founding of AIM, we will meet between 12:30pm and 1pm around the Chief Tammany statue at Front & Market Streets.
At 1pm we will begin an exciting day of exploring historical Philadelphia to mine poems through various (Soma)tic poetry exercises. Each of us has OUR OWN America, which we will examine with our bodies, the buildings, cracked bells, trees, grass, birds and THE DIRT of Philadelphia.
We will go into the early evening together, taking time between exercises to discuss each step into the (Soma)tic wilds of our poems. Bring plenty of water, bring notepads and pens. We will also take a 30 minute Silent Meeting where we sit together without talking. There is a very special place where we will be taking our Silent Meeting.

Oh go through the walls; if you must, walk on the ledges
Of roofs, of oceans; cover yourself with light;
Use menace, use prayer...
My sleepers will flee toward another America
