Notice to Poets – MMM- Miscellaneous Mountain Misfits

Our next MMM get-together is Wednesday, March 6th

MMM, Miscellaneous Mountain Misfits, will meet at 6:30 on Wednesday, March 6th at the home of Anita & Dave Sturtz.  It is the second to last home on the left at the west end of Pine Street (if you get to the dead-end at Yeagers you have gone too far) For those of you who don’t know GH street names (except maybe Lick Skillet), Pine is the road that turns off Lick Skillet before you come to Main Street at the top of the Skillet.

Please call Edie 303-444-0778, Marie at 303-444-4691 or Anita 303-440-3518 if questions.   Hope to see you Wednesday!   It would also be appreciated, but not necessary, if you respond so we know who and how many are coming.

For those not familiar with MMM (Miscellaneous Mountain Misfits), we have a monthly get-together 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 Gold Hill Poet Laureate, 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.
