Description: Making poems is like making mud pies: you just reach down and take what’s already there and pat it between your hands. It’s more fun if you do it with friends, and it’s a LOT more fun if you don’t mind getting dirty. All of us have experiences that, positive or negative, nag at us even after many years—experiences that are so real they cannot quite be told adequately over the dinner table, but just won’t quit wanting to be told. These are the very experiences that are good material for poem making. Ava will guide participants through movement, free writing, free drawing, and meditation to tap into the words that are swirling within to make Art out of Life’s messes.
Facilitated by Ava Leavell Haymon, poet and author of The Strict Economy of Fire and Kitchen Heat, and summer director of Guadalupe Mesa Studios, New Mexico.
