Global Voices Radio / SPLAB! E-Fishwrapper
In this Fat-Ass E-Fishwrapper:
1) Michael Dylan Welch talks with your humble E-Fishwrapper Scribe tomorrow night at Park Place Books in Redmond. 7PM.
Captain Haiku probes the latent crannies of SPLABMAN and you can watch. Seriously, this is a teaser for the six week Organic Poetry workshop coordinated by the Richard Hugo House at Park Place Books:
Kirkland, WA 98033
as the North American tradition spanning from Walt Whitman to William Carlos Williams, to Charles Olson, Anne Waldman, Robin Blaser, Michael McClure, Joanne Kyger, Wanda Coleman, Eileen Myles, George Bowering and others Allen Ginsberg, Michael McClure, Eileen Myles and others is discussed, debated and, hopefully, explained (to some extent.)
2) Organic Poetry Workshop Series at Park Place Books Tuesday nights starting Jan 23.
January 23 we start a unique six week workshop series at Park Place Books in Kirkland with an in-depth look at this stance-toward-poem-making and cosmology. There is a tradition of poem-making in North America that Robert Duncan (in dialog with Denise Levertov) called Organic. It is a continuum, and is in-sync with a holistic (organismic) world view. In our workshop we'll hear clips of interviews, and/or poems from poets partial to this approach, experience the state of consciousness that brings such poems into being and see if we can write some. Poets who may be covered include Robert Duncan, Allen Ginsberg, Denise Levertov, Anne Waldman, Diane di Prima, Michael McClure, George Bowering, Charles Olson and others. The six week format will allow us to get to a serious depth with this work, though it will also be quite fun. There have already been some signups and the class limit is 15. I'd LOVE to have 15 cool Eastside people, or people willing to go to the Eastside for this series. Please consider.
Instructor: Paul Nelson Meets: Tuesdays, Jan. 23-Feb. 27, 6-8 p.m. Min. 5 Max. 15
Please register today at 206.322.7030.

The Olympia Poetry Network invites Washington poets to enter the 4th Annual Lohmann Contest. This year, thanks to the generosity of the San Francisco poets that judge the contest, the award for the top 3 winners is now $200.00 each. In 2003, to honor Jeanne's birthday and mentoring, her poet friends from San Francisco (Friends) approached the Olympia Poetry Network (OPN) and asked us to coordinate a contest in Jeanne's name. The Friends would judge the poems, and provide the awards (equal amounts to 3 top poets), while OPN would provide the coordination of the contest. OPN and Friends invite you to enter 1 poem (up to 2 pages, double-spaced). The submittal period begins December 1, 2006 and runs through January 31, 2007. For additional contest information see below or go to our website at http://home.comcast.net/~yake/opn.lohmann.htm
