Bowl as Container for Poem

A 90-Minute “Poet in the House” Writing Webinar with Kelly DuMar

Thursday, January 21, 2021, 7-8:30 p.m. (OR January 28)

 For New England Poetry Club Members (join here)

Sarah Ruhl, in her poem, I Intend to Give You Many Bowls, inspires us to consider containers, what we hold, how we are held, what we hold onto. A photo is a container, and so is a poem. In this webinar, we will write poems from favorite bowls to see what they hold and how they hold us, nourish, and furnish us. For this 90-minute webinar, bring a photo of a favorite bowl or the bowl itself. We will share our bowls, and the poetic insights and surprises they inspire.
