Joy Moore presents
“Language & Sounds: A Collaborative Night of Poetry”
Based on the life and aesthetic of John Keats, the film Bright Star supposes he might describe poetry as such:
“A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore; it’s to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out. It is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery.”
This Thursday evening is dedicated to the pure enjoyment of language and music of the imagination found in poetry. Please bring along any favorite poems to share.
