Current explorations
Next week, October 20th at 2 p.m. slt in the Kira Café, the Ways of Knowing group’s topic will be:
Ways of knowing the world . . . (and/or ways of being in the world). . .
as illustrated by metaphors in a poem - your own or someone else’s.
Everyone is invited to bring a poem to share - (copy/paste in the chat box, so all can read it) – and then discuss how that poem informs, opens, challenges, supports, etc. some way of knowing and being in the world.
Since we have only an hour (and, I hope, several partipants), I suggest that we each select poems of no more than 16 lines. This would "allow" sonnets and poems of up to four 4-lined stanzas. If you choose something more epic, please select from it no more than 16 lines to present.
