HAPPENING NOW: Bette’s Tuesday Happy Hour Poetry Workshop
Bette members: please register for Tuesday’s Happy Hour, May 27, at noon Pacific, where I will be leading a poetry workshop
***Bette members will find the registration link below the paywall. To join us, please upgrade to a paid membership here and help support independent investigative journalism during a time of grave peril.***
As the poets of history have taught us, a good verse can lift up entire countries.
Inspired by a poetry workshop I recently attended, we’re going to have one of our own — starting now. We’ll use photos as prompts, and everyone will have ten minutes to write their own poems.
I’ll call on handful of you to recite your poem if you wish — you can pass, of course — but I think it will be a great way to reconnect with the beauty in our collective souls.
We are continually doused with performative ugliness by greedy men and women — maybe they have never known empathy — but we can replenish our individual spirits with community and poetry.
I hope you join us.
Our weekly Happy Hours are open to all levels of paid membership, and I look forward to seeing many of you in the squares. Keep scrolling to bottom to register.
