Hi all,
On Saturday 21 July from 1.30pm to 4.30pm Myron Lysenko will be running a workshop for us at a nominal cost of $20. The library will provide tea, coffee and cake. It will be held in the library and will be great because he is not only a superb and award winning poet but much accomplished at doing workshops.

How great is this. I have only come to the internet this year so it is all rather new to me, am not sure how to add to the main blog but have done the gmail thing. Discovered a wonderful poem on the web the other day, you may already know of it "Making Poetry" by Anne Stevenson. When I learn how to enter on the blog I will write it out for you. The photo is wonderful. It looks like I can keep on writing so I'll write the poem out and the clever Karen maybe able to copy it onto the blog.
Making Poetry by Anne Stevenson
"You have to inhabit poetry
if you want to make it."
And what's "to inhabit?"
To be in the habit of, to wear
words, sitting in the plainest light,
in the silk of morning, in the shoe of night;
a feeling bare and frondish in surprising air;
familiar...rare.
To be and to become words' passing
weather; to serve a girl on terribel terms,
embark on voyages over voices,
evade the ego-hill, the misery-well.
the siren his of publish, success, publish,
success, success, success
And why inhabit, make, inherit poetry?
Oh, it's the shared comedy of the worst
blessed; the sound leading the hand;
a wordlife running from mind to mind
through the washed rooms of the simple senses;
one of those haunted, undefendable, unpoetic
crosses we have to find.
It doesn't fit in this space in quite the way it is written but I will bring a copy of it to the next workshop
regards Tricia
