I for one am happy to imagine the "what the?!" moments over at the university. My favorite classes as an undergrad had a good share of that sort of energy and were taught by renegade artists who were essentially using the U for their own poetic purposes, including teaching us baby writers about the joys of literature and writing, apart from commerce, status, etc. Your students will benefit, no matter what you do. (I have to give myself this pep talk fairly regularly and I've been teaching for 25 years! Oy.)

PSA: And in case anyone wants to get in on Poetry as Spiritual Practice, which Chris is teaching at Poetry Forge (online) during the month of September, we have two seats left. After that, we'll have a waiting list for the January session and the folks on that list will get first dibs.

A photographer I follow on Facebook has been posting about the teepees for a week or so with some gorgeous photos, but I’m really happy to hear that this is also some thing that seems like a good thing to you. I took a class from this photographer, Jenny Lynn Golding, and her husband, George Bumann, on listening to animal language last year.  I hope you enjoy all of the things you’re doing, and I’m excited about the poetry class!
