Twenty Poems in a Day: A Poem-Making Event with Geoffrey Nutter

Now more than ever we need forces of good to counteract the forces of greed, corruption, hatred, and fascism. I am devoted to the idea that poetry is a force for good: it opens us to realms of the imagination and the power of the inner life– intuitions of the Possible that ready us for action in the public square. And I think we all need the company of kindred spirits in times like these.

Join Wallson Glass and fellow poets for four hours of writing experiments, using an array of texts to create collages of language and thought in the course of adding to the “stock of available reality.” Our day’s work: to watch as language and thought, dreams, lists, technical journals, field guides, tracts and herbal tomes swirl into our memories and dreams and form strange syntheses; to reorder our experience of living in the world of things and ideas as poets and human beings. And to write as much as you have ever written in one day. The transformation of the real and the making of speculative worlds. Living in and through the imagination.  N.B.:  I will distribute the newest and fullest printing of The Compendium at this session.
