Enjoy this replay of the 10/24/24 Poetry Pick-Me-Up.
Here are resources shared in the Zoom chat box:
“Friend” by seven-year-old Gabby Wenzel. The poet added this commentary: “In a poem, I can run without legs and be in the sunshine under the clouds. My imagination does the thinking and my hand does the writing. It’s so fun!”
“Love” by Czesław Miłosz (trans. Robert Hass)
“Ode” by Zoe Higgins
“If I Must Die” by Refaat Alareer (trans. D. P. Snyder)
What’s Poetry Pick-Me-Up?
PPMU is a casual poetry-sharing and discussion group that happens every non-holiday Thursday, 12-1PM Central. FREE! Join us for our next gathering on October 31st. Just hop on the Zoom at this link.
Bring a published poem (or excerpt) that you’ve recently read to share with the group. Or, just come to listen and to participate in informal but wholehearted conversation.
Please, no original poetry, as we have other opportunities on The Raft for you to present that.
Can’t make it on Thursdays? Catch the replay in one of these Raft newsletters: Events & News, or Rafter Digest. Manage your subscription preferences here.
