Basically, she handed us a modified, miniaturized kit of the materials she uses in making found poetry art. <br /><br />She gave us each a beautiful factual card about sea life and the materials to color over the words we did not need. Our poem appeared in the words we had not colored. I ended up writing a love poem--what a surprise from a sea shell fact card!April Halprin Waylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128192997917583478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-46722851001112455772016-10-11T22:35:01.408-05:002016-10-11T22:35:01.408-05:00It was more involved than that... ;0) - Feel free ...It was more involved than that... ;0) - Feel free to email me, Diane, after the post-hurricane dust settles.

SO great being with you - and everyone! - at Poetry Camp. I'm finally enjoying some of the follow-up posts, as we got orders to evacuate right after returning home last week. (Hoping to make it home tomorrow, though we might not have power!) Hope you are getting a little rest this week; take care of yourself and your Muse!Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-60909916180496942812016-10-11T22:22:01.298-05:002016-10-11T22:22:01.298-05:00Love reading all these entries about that lovely t...Love reading all these entries about that lovely time.

I've tried to explain to loved ones the weirdness of my extreme social butterfly self and the hermit that wants to be alone, preferably in my blanket fort with cocoa, cookies, books and poetry. I'm so glad you got a bit of rescue in your time of need. We need to keep you in good writing shape.<br />I hope you would be willing to share your hand-outs with a non attendee? If not, it's OK.

I am hoping that one day I will be among those who have the privilege of being amazed by the wonderful group of poet friends who were part of the awesome learning. I think your found poem and makerspace project is fabulous. Do you have a larger photo of what you made so I can show my colleagues? The new proposal I submitted for my ILA 17 team has an idea like this.

It was so special to give you a lift back to Seattle. I was the one blessed in so many ways. I loved our book conversations, the peek we had into Friday's activities, and yes, that caramel apple cider was perfect for the rainy evening. Here's to a slower week for you!
