Dr. Gene Hirsch and his John C. Campbell Folk School poetry class visited the Netwest Poetry critique group on Thursday evening, May 7.Linda Smith, far end on right, is reading a poem she brought for critique.
Poets Glenda Barrett, author of When the Sap Rises, and Joyce Foster, author of Painted Leaves, a book Kathryn S. Byer called one of the most beautiful poetry books she has ever seen, follow the words of a poem read by Linda Smith. Joyce attended Gene Hirsch's class and lists him in her book as her mentor. Beyond Joyce in the photo is Clarence Newton, Gene Hirsch, Karen Holmes, Barbara Groce, and Maren Mitchell.
That looks like a dream team to me. I wish I could have been there. I've heard from several posts today what an amazing critique session it was.
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty neat to have so many poets in one room at the same time.
