Sunday, October 23, 2022, 1PM to 4PM PST Poem-Making With Jim Moreno, A Virtual Poem-Making Class Online via Zoom This three-hour class for beginning or seasoned poets will utilize the art of poetry to examine the existential background to the political foreground of the Mid Term election that is almost one month away. Poets like Robert Bly, Joy Harjo, Sonia Sanchez, Rumi, Yehuda Amichai, Yusef Komunyakaa and others will help us find humane solutions for our vote. Quotes from the likes of John Lewis, John Kennedy, Malala, and others will frame a portrait of sanity & fact to counter the Big Money mass media montage of misinformation, misdirection and mendacity that currently plagues our nation. This class will be taught in two 90-minute segments divided into quotes, film clips, poems, and stories from Jim Moreno’s experience as an artivist (artist and activist) in writing, teaching, and performing. Beginning and seasoned participants are welcomed to the Container of respect and safety that are the foundation of Moreno’s classes. If you are looking for a critique group, this is not the class for you. This is a write from your heart poem-making class. Are we sick and tired of the mass media bombardment going on for months yet? An out of state Big Money push trying to manuever our minds to vote yes when the truth of the candidate, the proposition, the issue, the theme, invites a simple no, a no vote, a realization of the background to the phony foreground of actus reus (“guilty act”), mens rea (“guilty mind.”) by the perpetrators of the mask hiding the truth. We now live in a world where women are ordered how to dress, ordered not to have a choice about how or when to not give life. We live in a country where combat machines may be used in our children’s school to end their lives. And the experts in segue shift the issue to more police; more police in our schools, more police in the streets. More scrutiny means less accuracy for the common sense solutions. Sign up using the above link to pay the fee. Jim will then e-mail the class syllabus to you after Writers Ink forwards your e-mail address to him the day before the class on Saturday, October 22. You will receive your class syllabus with a bibliography. You will also receive the Zoom ID link to this class when you receive your syllabus. Join Mr. Moreno for this class which resonates with belonging, dignity and respect for all cultures and colors of skin. You will be emailed the Zoom link 24 hours before the start of class. Be sure to check your Spam/Junk folders just in case! If you sign up less than 24 hours before the start of the class, please email Kristen at programs@sandiegowriters.org for your link.
