Next week on The Raft . . .

• Creatives’ Coffee (Zoom, Wednesday, 4:00-5:30PM Central). A casual conversation group for Rafters who like to “make stuff,” whether for fun or as a profession. Need companionship and support? Creative inspiration? Cross-fertilization of ideas? You’ll find oodles of all this and more at the Coffee. Hop on the Zoom at this link. Can’t make it? Watch for the video replay in this newsletter.

• Poetry Pick-Me-Up (Zoom, Thursday, 12-1PM Central). A casual weekly gathering for poetry-sharing and discussion. Hop on the Zoom at this link. 

  Bring a published poem that has recently struck you to read to the group. Or, just come to listen to poems offered by other Rafters and to participate in informal but wholehearted conversation. Can’t make it? Watch for the video replay in this newsletter!

• My serial audio reading of Staying Power 2: Writings from a Year of Emergence continues each Friday for all paying subscribers. Upgrade to get this and other modest perks, plus the joy of helping to keep most content on The Raft free for everybody!
