29 poets gathered in the beautiful hills of Bristol, NY on Saturday, October 15th for conversation, presentations, meditation, writing and reading of poems. This year’s retreat to the amazing Gell Center was one of our most energized and well-attended ever!
The gloves came off!!! (In the best possible way...)
Thanks to Karla for her talk on the centuries-old tradition of protest poetry.
MCC English professor, and new Just Poets member Elizabeth Johnston explored two archetypes of patriarchal society: Medusa & Perseus and Adam & Eve.
The presentations inspired intense conversation AND...
... quiet composition! :)
Check out some of what we created!
We had such a great time this year! We hope that we see you at next year's event!
