Current explorations
The topic for our next WoK session, October 20th at 2 p.m. slt in the Kira Café, will be:
Ways of knowingthe 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, connects, compares, challenges, supports, etc. some way of knowing and being in the world.
Since we have only one hour (and, I hope, several participants), 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.
If there are further suggestions or questions regarding the WoK topic, please tell us about them through WoK’s email:
