The Virtual World

Poetry, the imagination, and the creative life.

from the SPLAB website:

Living Room Begins Tonight (10.26.10)
Our 2010/2011 season kicks off in our new SPLAB Tuesday, October 26, at 7PM with Living Room. Come to read new work for a gentle critique, come to share the work of someone else, or come just to be in the engaging company of other writers.

Bring 10 copies of your new work to the circle, come early to get one of the two loveseat recliner spots and learn about SPLAB swag from the wily Almondina.

3528 S. Ferdinand, but enter from Edmunds. There is parking right outside the doors of the Cultural Center and we’re about two blocks from the Columbia City stop on the Link light rail system. Suggested donation $5. The facilitator will be your friendly neighborhood SPLABman.

Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason. ~ Novalis

*


Poetry is what maintains our capacity for contemplation and difficulty. — Carolyn Forche

*


Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild. — Denis Diderot
