(Poets Creating Conversation / Outdoors at The Mount)
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
The air is getting crisper. Leaves are falling. Poets may or may not be talking about the weather and changing seasons. Or maybe we're just talking about living in America.
This event will be held outdoors. Dress for the weather. It’s New England, so you may need mittens or you may need a tank top . . .
For this event we are requiring that participating poets be fully vaccinated for Covid-19. Everyone - per local regulations - audience and poets will be asked to wear face masks when maintaining 6 feet of distance is not possible.

Tales from inside the pandemic. It's been a long year! Sourdough, mask confusion, loss, and moments of joy - anything is possible as storytellers lay it on the line.

Poets Creating Conversation challenges poets to circle loosely around a theme or issue to create a broad, multi-dimensional “conversation” between poems, poets, and audience.
Words@Work - Each month a new challenge, offered by a new provocateur. Culminating in a Zoom event to share the results with each other and the public. The challenges - more technical, than thematic - may range from light-hearted to heavy-lifting, but always with a good humor and open to wide-ranging responses and results.
Missed connections and close calls. Poets chew on neurons and synapse to navigate the mindscape.

Poets peel back masks - theirs or others - to reveal what lies beneath.
