There's something beautifully subversive about carving out weekly space for poetry in a world that prizes productivity metrics over creative exploration. The practice of gathering specifically to write - not to workshop, not to perform, but simply to create alongside others - honors the communal nature of art that we've lost in our increasingly isolated digital existence. Writing can feel solitary, but the ancients knew better: poets gathered in symposiums, storytellers around fires, scribes in scriptoriums. This modern iteration via Zoom is its own kind of fellowship, proving that physical distance doesn't have to mean creative isolation. Every Friday at noon becomes a small rebellion against the tyranny of the urgent.
I'm just now getting to read this and can't this Friday but I'm going to forward it to myself to try next week. You all have a good session. Blessings.

This sounds cool! Unfortunately it’s smack in the middle of my workday but hopefully I can make it sometime!
