poetry as connection and voice |
|
| Name: | The Kolkhoz Poetry Collective | |
| About: | I love deep, quality poetry that astounds with its beauty. But I also like poetry as a cooperative, political act. Poetry as performative core-dump. Poetry as a shout-down to The Man. Poetry as a way to bind people who have little else in common. Words as confessional and comedy, play and pretext. Please join me in creating the Kolkhoz Poetry Collective. This is about poetry as a means of giving voice. There will be a blog; there will be monthly in-person DIY chapbook meetings. But mostly there will be gathering together -- online and in person -- to find ways to use poetry as a voice, a way to shout to the world until it listens. Don't worry if you're "not a poet". This is about finding your voice, whatever that means to you. C'mon. (Oakland meetings will be the last Sunday of every month, beginning April of '07 -- you should feel free to start some up in your town, too.) Cells Local Kolkhoz cells can be anywhere two or more poet-activists get together.

This is a collective; there are no rules. If you're obnoxious, we'll tell you so. If you try to shut us down, we'll fight back. If you try to sell us something, we'll sneer at you.
