Last weekend's DriftWords event found poets ranging up and down the shore at Wisconsin Point: writing poems with sticks in the sand, with markers on driftwood and even with pebbles on the beach.
Next week, it’s a writing event with the theme of "bodily autonomy,"loosely translated as "the choices you make with your body."
The Duluth Poetry Chapter is taking poetry out of its ivory tower and rarefied atmosphere and bringing it to the street ... and the beach ... and the coffee shop, in an effort to stretch its boundaries past an art form and into a tool you can throw into your "coping" toolkit.
More information about the Duluth Poetry Chapter and a list of their upcoming events is here.
