in my traveling poetry class last weekend, we tested out identity-exploring poetry, which is a theme in a healing-thinking sense for one of my upcoming classes offered through the chester county night school. we were enjoying meeting at the other farm brewing company in boyertown for classes, but we'll be away from there for a few months because of upcoming building renovations from mid-march to may. next classes will be in gilbertsville this month.
identity-exploring is such a valuable subject to explore in writing form and specifically poetry. it has so many opportunities in directions which we don't always imagine until we're in the realm of digging our way through memories sometimes long forgotten or perhaps more at the surface of our living. but the lessons we can stumble across in compiling recollections and feelings are important ones and individual to each of us yet often with overlaps. in fact, 3 out of 4 of us wrote about our mothers in our poems.
