SUMMARY:Poetry & Yoga
DESCRIPTION:How often does a poem turn into a meditation? How often does a meditation turn into a poem? Could this happen more often? \nIn this workshop we will explore how breath\, yoga\, and meditation can help create the soft space from where a poem emerges.

SUMMARY:Witches All the Way Down’: Persona\, Archive\, Incantation
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive panel\, five poets whose projects have engaged with—and challenged—representations of women as one-dimensional archetypes (sinner\, saint\, virgin\, mother\, witch) that appear in many historical\, religious\, and literary texts will share their poetry and brief comments on their creative process; ample time will be allotted for questions and discussion with the audience. Therese Gleason\, a descendant of a judge at Salem and the 11th great-granddaughter of Alice Lake\, who was executed for witchcraft on Boston Common c. 1650\, will read from her chapbook\, Matrilineal\, which includes poems about her ancestor\, Eve\, Mary Magdalene\, and St. Teresa of Ávila. Mandy Gutmann-González will share selections from their project\, Salem Songs\, which mines the 17th-century legal archive of the Salem trials\, considering the court examination as poetic form\, a hybrid of legal language and lyric utterance. Carolyn Oliver will read selections from an ongoing series of Eve persona poems (some of which appear in her chapbook Mirror Factory and her collection Inside the Storm I Want to Touch the Tremble) that explore violence\, maternity\, queerness\, witchcraft\, and sexuality—with a particular focus on the dialogue form. Cindy Veach will share selected works from her collection\, Her Kind\, an exploration of the Salem Witch Trials which braids archival accounts of the accused women displaying courage and integrity with contemporary examples of women resisting the traps of victimhood in a modern culture that often still remains inhospitable\, if not hostile. Elizabeth Sylvia will read from her collection\, None But Witches\, in which she celebrates the intelligence and sharp wit with which Shakespeare’s female characters wield language as a means to speak truth to power in a world in which they are viewed as “Witches. // Witches // all the way down.”

Not since the introduction of slam poetry were spoken word venues changed so completely with no apparent road back to the simple days of pages and podiums. What were the positive effects? the negative? What does the future hold?

SUMMARY:Now as Mother: In the Presence of Loved Ones with Alzheimer’s
DESCRIPTION:According to the National Institute on Aging\, Alzheimer’s is a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills\, and it’s estimated that over six million Americans struggle with dementia as a result. To be in the presence of someone with Alzheimer’s is a lesson in appreciating the very present moment because both the past and future are unattainable to those individuals inflicted. As caregivers\, we try to hold this space. As poets\, we turn to language to help undertand and accept. In this group reading\, followed by a Q&A\, we’ll read our poetry and discuss our own experiences caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease.

SUMMARY:Dreaming Your Way into a Poem: A Generative Workshop
DESCRIPTION:There is a long tradition of poets writing about their dreams\, including William Blake\, Emily Dickinson\, Walt Whitman\, Lucille Clifton\, Jean Valentine\, and Alice Notley. Like the best poems\, the dream juxtaposes odd elements\, framing them in surprising ways and shedding light. In this workshop\, we will explore dream vision and the art of drawing lyrical narratives from sensory chaos. We will read dream poems\, discuss the possibilities of mining dream territory\, and then we will write. Feel free to bring notes you might have jotted down about dreams\, fragments of dream imagery\, or ponderings about recurring dreams\, dreams that have haunted you\, dreams that have brought you joy.
