What You’ll Experience
After listening to a few poems for inspiration writers are given a “jumpline” (sentence starter) and will write for about 8-10 minutes. Writers are then encouraged to read their write aloud, but that is never required. The group listens and gives “recall” only by simply restating a line or phrase they heard. This helps to create a brave space and allows the writer to be witnessed. Critique, questions and cross-talk are not part of the Writing Practice process. Depending on the size of the group 2-4 jumplines are given each time.
We'll explore themes such as childhood stories, our family & ancestors, our Critic, our Muse, endings, change and impermanence. Occasionally we may "play" with a poetry form, or we might write together in pairs. Each week, writers will receive “Homewriting” jumplines—not as required homework, but as an invitation to write more between sessions.
