Miscellaneous Mountain Misfits (MMM) Poetry/Prose Evening

Posted on: November 26th, 2011


The next MMM meeting is to be held at Bill Patterson’s home at 6.30 pm on 8 December.  All are welcome.

For those not familiar with MMM, we have a monthly meeting (usually the first Thursday) at the home of one of the group. The idea is two-fold: (1) is that we do some writing (for 15-20 minutes) in response to a loose stimulus provided by John Latham., followed by a non-critical read-around of what has been written. This takes about 45 minutes, followed by short break and then: (2) a read-around, led by Edie Eilender, involving all people who care to read [for about 6 minutes per person maximum] some of their already-written prose or poetry, or writing by someone else. If, instead of reading, someone offers a song or two, that is welcomed. There is no pressure on people to actively participate. Most attendees do, but some come simply to listen. The host provides some limited drink & snackies, and if attendees care to bring along a modest contribution to the drink or food, that is welcomed, too.

Bill lives in the Dome in the grounds of the Morning Sun, about 2 miles West of downtown Gold Hill. If people need further directions please phone him at (303-459-0108  – leave a message if he’s out, and he’ll respond).
