In the October Poetry Party, we read and wrote under the influence of Alex Dimitrov, Bronislaw Maj, Audre Lorde, Jim Harrison, January Gill O’Neil, Alfred K. Lamotte and Jane Hirshfield.
The first half of the Poetry Party offered writing prompts that guided poets into writing towards the changing season and into a specific experience only that person had encountered. Then we played a little, giving permission to explore the use of a cliché to play on the page and explore what they say/I say.
We began with October by Alex Dimitrov
