Ongoing Poetry Courses:
Benjamín Jarnés wrote of the "great wave amplitude of the spirit" and "all the tremulous movements of the spirit" that produce these waves and vibrations. He also wrote of them:
"…as the circles widen, they lose definition...What matters is the repetition of the harmonious movement. May the bell never stop casting its peal into the wind. Thus the lively undulation is renewed and that blurred echo that rings off the mountains is greeted by a new toll. Let another note explode on the strings..."
Pretty good, right?
So for those of you who have taken at least one round of poems with me and are up for a repetition of the harmonious movement or another note exploding on the strings... I'd love to have you along together for some deeper work.
As ever you can be inclined towards a stumble in the direction of interesting histories and sidebars, etymologies, some new games and more challenging structures and maybe being surprised in ways you'd be pleased about.
