Miscellaneous Mountain Misfits – poetry prose evening

Posted on: February 10th, 2012

The next MMM meeting is to be held at Richard Oxley’s  home at 6.30 pm on February 16th.  Richard is asking for a call to let him know (303-442-3943) if you will attend.  If too many coming , it will be at the Brookhart’s house.
It begins at 6:30 for John’s workshop and then a read-around at 7:15.
All are welcome.

Here is John Latham’s introduction to the MMM idea.  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.
