The mind, a dormant stone

I just realized how busy a month August truly is! There are many poetry events that I am a part of, not to mention all the poetry events in LA that are just filling the calendar. Poetry is ALIVE in LA! Who says LA is not a mecca for literary genius...if anything, it inspires us from the turbulent realities we face each day. We write write write... So, to anyone that cares, I want to get all the messaging straight. Here's what's filling up my calendar these coming days: Poetrypalooza! I love the name of this event! I love that even get to be a part of it! Along with all the greatness that is Poetrypalooza (poetry taking over LA county), I will be conducting poetry workshops! I'll introduce you to the Humament, expand your Stream of Consciousness methods, and help your children create Acrostic poetry. Here is the complete schedule of events: http://poetrypalooza2011.weebly.com/tour-schedule.html I'm teaching: August 20, 21, 22, 27 100 Thousand Poets ...

Hi, Inviting you to join the fun in August at PoetryPalooza! The Zzyxz Poets have set up venues all over LA county, I hope you can attend. There will be workshops, readings, music, and much fun to be had. In particular, I will be giving a poetry workshop on the found poem using the Humament Method, tying that into Stream of Consciousness. PLUS, I will be giving a little workshop to the "Kiddos" on Acrostics. Of course all are welcome to join. :) My workshops are on:  August 20th at Thematic Attic in West Covina,  August 21st at Eureka Cafe in MidCity LA,  August 22nd at Amsterdam Cafe in North Hollywood, and  August 27th at The Last Bookstore in downtown LA. I think you would enjoy it! Also, my very good friend, Jayson Pida will be leading his own workshops on Implementing the Visual into your Poetry on August 19th  at Stories Cafe in Echo Park . Hope you can make it! HERE is the ENTIRE schedule of Workshops:  http://poetrypalooza2011.we...
