New Poetry Group in Itaweon, Korea
I'm looking to start a poetry group. The idea is to have a group of people who love sharing poems--memorizing them, sharing them, reading them aloud-it could any thing form Ginsberg to Tennyson to Mary Oliver. I want this group to be less academic or workshop-oriented and more oriented around sharing the emotional, joyful part of poetry that keeps us returning to it again and again. I started a group at college where we met late at night and just read our poems aloud each week near a lake. It pretty much rocked!!!

I have a space set up for meetings it in Itaweon at the well being center. It is the perfect space to hold a meeting for sharing our poems.

The group will be a bit experimental too, as im looking to meet with the belly dancer and perhaps do fun things..like write Haiku and then have the dancers spontaneously choreograph in counts of 5 7 5 ..and I know we can come up with interesting collaborative things to do as our group grows too!

Anyone interested, please contact me via email at mettaness@gmail.com. right now, Sunday around 6 work in itaewon..if this time works please state so in the email!!
