(Soma)tic Poetry Workshop
CHINATOWN
New York City
August 8th, 2010

REGISTER BELOW
(limited number of participants)

Soma (spirit) and somatic (flesh) come together in unexpected ways for poetry when investigating busy streets, stores, sidewalks. Chinatown has such alchemy every single day awaiting our discovery.

As Alice Notley says, "Poetry's so common hardly anyone can find it." (Soma)tic poetry exercises build on this very notion, giving any square inch its opportunity to release the poem. We will examine faces, doorways, restaurant menus, gift shops, trees, weeds between cracks, we will ABSORB Chinatown, translate Chinatown into poems.

We will meet at 1pm, and work into 5pm, maybe longer. Please bring plenty of water, pens and notepads, as we work hard taking notes to create the poems.

The workshop is $44
