About this Event
“The more stuff you love, the happier you will be.”
—Ross Gay, The Book of Delights
When bad news charges the air, it is more important than ever to both acknowledge what is difficult and explore the necessity of joy, the need for love. This paradox is the cornerstone of Rosemerry’s daily writing practice and at the heart of what she’ll share in her performance at the Paradise that night—an ecstatic show of music and poetic medicine with her guitarist Steve Law. Take a peek behind the creative curtain—how the honey gets spun. In this four-hour playshop, we’ll read and write poems that help us see, honor and celebrate all the beauty still vital and present. We’ll practice perspective—a poetic superpower—and explore how this skill helps us meet a blank page (and the world) with wonder. Process intensive. Sharing optional. As Rilke writes, “We transform the world from within our hearts.” Let’s practice. Together. All levels of participants welcome—from never ever wrote a poem before to Pulitzer Prize winners.
