Re: [poetry-566] Hello from Living Poetry - announcements & idea contest!!!

Angelika,
?
I've thought through some possible ideas for poetry events, as I know that many possibilities have been exhausted through this process. One idea I've always had would be to involve kids through creating poetry and art together. Kids could be matched up with adults in the group, and each group can work together to create a visual and auditory piece that can be shared with the group.? I think this cohesion will bring about a deeper knowledge of what poetry means from childhood to adulthood...What do you think?:)

Anything goes... I want to hear about it (reply to this email - multiple times if the ideas keep coming!). Please be specific.
